I really hope this is satire. Otherwise I'm scared to ask how long it took.
It's definitely satire. 2 million lines of code is an absurd under-exageration. This post had me looking up the number of possible chess games, because if you coded chess like above you would have to have an if statement for every outcome, and it's 10^120 different possible games.

The way I understood it, it's two million lines and nowhere near finished.
Anyway, satire.
