ZZT Cheats

ZZT has a special "cheat prompt," as I call it. From there, you can type in different codes to perform a cheat. Be warned, however, some games now have anti-cheat objects.

To get the the cheat prompt, type ?. That's Shift + / on most keyboards. From there, type in one of the following:

CodeEffect CodeEffect
healthGives 50 health ammoGives 5 ammo
gemsGives 5 gems torchesGives 3 torches
keysGives all keys zapClears tiles surrounding you
+darkMakes the room dark -darkMakes the room light
+debugLets you edit locked files -debugDisables locked-file editing
timeGives you more time

There is also a little-known cheat that #sets and #clears flags. It is +[flag] or -[flag], where [flag] is the flag to be set if you use + or cleared if you use -.

MegaZeux Cheats

Many MegaZeux games have built-in cheats, but MegaZeux itself has its own. It is like using debug mode from the editor, only it is in the actual game. In order to access this mode, start up the game using "megazeux -". To get the  hold down ALT and type 254. (It looks like a boulder from ZZT.)

Like ZZT, many games have anti-cheat procedures to keep you from doing this, so always SAVE your progress before cheating.
