As a programmer, I can say that it's quite hard to program reflection in games. In 2Dimensional games it's easier, but in a 3Dimensional program, the programmers got to calculate the reflections which depends on from which angle you see the mirror, and the mirror's angle. And if it wouldn't be hard, here comes that everything is in 3D.

Why did rareware leave Nintendo?

Well ask yourself this. What happens if the best selling world wide video game company shows you alot of cash in exchange for ownage rights of another video game company? Microsoft wanted the 100% rights for RareWare in exchange for some cash, seeing how Nintendo was making the best Video games with the help of RareWare back in the day. Microsoft not only wanted to out-class Nintendo by their own game but with their own helpers too! Seeing that Rare Ware had patential on Video Game making, it was the company that Microsoft needed to help them surpass Nintendo. So foolish that Rare Ware was, they accepted the money and now Microsoft has full rights of Conker, Banjo Kazooie, etc... Luckily, since Rare Ware was working with Nintendo, Nintendo saved most of the games that were in the names of both Rare Ware and Nintendo like Donkey Kong and Star Fox. Even though that Nintendo had their names on the games, Microsoft had a deal to inherit Rare Ware games 100%. So Nintendo and Microsoft came to an agreement. Microsoft will inherit a few characters that Nintendo and Rare Ware both worked on. In the Donkey Kong series, Microsoft has King K. Rool and his kremlings. They will only appear in Nintendo games that don't really have them needed for the main plot of the game such as Mario sports games and such. Although that Microsoft has full rights for Rare Ware, the games they make together aren't the same as Rare Ware and Nintendo games.

Why do you think mirrors were rare the giver?

Mirrors were rare in "The Giver" because they allowed individuals to see themselves as unique individuals, potentially encouraging self-expression and individuality. The society in the book valued conformity and sameness, so the absence of mirrors helped reinforce this ideal. By controlling the gaze and perception of its citizens, the society maintained control over their thoughts and behaviors.
