'''Be warned that setting/clearing flags and ZAP-ing may break a game world and render that savegame useless.'''
Some of these cheats may be dangerous (particularly ZAP, which can destroy critical objects, passages, board edges, etc.), and some worlds may have anti-cheat mechanisms in place. Use with caution.


The ZAP command is particularly dangerous as it permanently removes '''anything''' within 1 square in each of the [[cardinal directions]] and replace it with an empty space. You can easily ZAP an object containing code disguised as scenery  or a part of a wall.
Some ZZT worlds are designed for the player to use the '''-[flagname]''' or '''+[flagname]''' cheats to activate certain features, such as '''+i''' to bring up a custom inventory.
