Cheats

ZZT has a number of hidden cheat codes accessible by holding SHIFT and press ? to bring up a text-box in the upper-right corner.

Give all keys keys Clears the flag 'flagname' -flagname Sets the flag 'flagname' +flagname Darken level +DARK Un-darken level -DARK Debug mode off -debug Debug mode on +debug Give 3 torches TORCHES Give 5 ammo AMMO Give 5 gems GEMS Give 50 health HEALTH Removes anything within 1 square ZAP

Be warned that setting/clearing flags and ZAP-ing may break a game world and render that savegame useless.

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.
