**Coding Language Conflict** is a short film created by AnimatedGalaxy for 2023's Texas Object Show Community Hangout. The film was first shown to the public on November 18, 2023 during the event at the Lewisville Grand Theater, and was released onto YouTube along with a live recording a few hours later.

## Plot

Coding Language Conflict is a one-episode short film that's meant to "bridge the gap between AnimatedGalaxy's knowledge of animation and coding, while also making something everyone can enjoy".

The film centers around 10 coding languages messing around in a blank void, until HTML5 "self-dares" himself to throw a huge rock into the sky. When he does, however, it causes a hole to shatter through the void, and numerous glowing, colored coils fly out of it, forming into FORTRAN.

The 10 contestants are taken to a new location, which is a field with mountains and trees during autumn. They notice FORTRAN standing there, who informs the 10 about a competition they want to host, with their prize being a 3. Despite them refusing, FORTRAN forces them to compete anyway for their enjoyment.

The first challenge is to stand on a platform, with the first two falling off being eliminated. HTML5 kicks C++ off of the platform(Angry Bird style!), which enrages C and C#. C# is the most upset, and he punches HTML5 into JavaScript, who wants CSS to tell him about his sacrifice. HTML5 refuses to listen, and kicks JavaScript off, eliminating him too.

The second challenge requires everyone to do a dance, with the worst dances making them become eliminated. CSS and Java perform the worst. Java explains that every day, they stray further from God, while CSS simply says "Well, this sucks".

The third challenge is to climb a rock wall, and the last two to make it there are eliminated. Visual Basic thinks it would be smart to jump up there, but FORTRAN stops them and disqualifies them, saying it's against the rules. Swift, Python and C# make it to the top, leaving HTML5 and C at the bottom. C is worried, but HTML5 immediately makes it to the top, leaving C the next eliminated.

The fourth challenge has FORTRAN add the last 4 contestants into a Discord group, and they must stay there. The first 2 to leave the group are eliminated. Swift and HTML5 leave *immediately,* leaving FORTRAN upset.

The final challenge was a fight to the death, with Python winning by biting C#, who dies by the poison. FORTRAN thanks the viewers for watching, but a blue screen fake out appears instead. Michael then appears, saying how even though he crashed, he knows where the bug was, and can fix it, causing the credits to roll.

After the credits, Michael believes he has fixed all the issues, and restarts the program. However, his computer catches fire.

## Trivia

* The film was originally meant to be a show, titled "Daily Coding Challenge". It would have contained 6 episodes, with each one releasing on a certain day. The first episode had 1 scene animated, and all the audio done, but nothing else was finished.
* There was a deleted scene in the film that was removed due to it being "a bit too dark for a public festival".
	+ All that is known is that the challenge had FORTRAN saying "Your next challenge is to find a reason to keep going".
* The intro took an entire week to animate.
* The film itself was shown in AnimatedGalaxy's forensic science class during a moment of free time, as his teacher was extremely excited and interested to watch it.
* Pyr0sity was sitting next to AnimatedGalaxy during the 2023 Texas Object Show Community Hangout. As such, he can be heard during the live recording of the film at certain moments (such as "My bad, gang! My bad.")
* In the live recording version of the film, there are parts where the camera will slightly, yet violently shake. AnimatedGalaxy pointed this out, saying it was just him being nervous.
* Originally, the film would have contained a small introduction video, showing off who AnimatedGalaxy was and what the film was about. However, by the time the film was done, the due date was the next day, so there was no time to add it.
* It's confirmed that Coding Language Conflict was a computer program created by Michael on the same computer Incredible Items Beginnings is made on (in universe). While the event of him creating the program is technically canon, it's confirmed it won't alter anything relating to IIB at all.
