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.

There is 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 -.

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
