ZZT Cheats

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
