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:
| Code | Effect | Code | Effect |
| health | Gives 50 health | ammo | Gives 5 ammo |
| gems | Gives 5 gems | torches | Gives 3 torches |
| keys | Gives all keys | zap | Clears tiles surrounding you |
| +dark | Makes the room dark | -dark | Makes the room light |
| +debug | Lets you edit locked files | -debug | Disables locked-file editing |
| time | Gives 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 -.
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.
