Answer 1

typically, it works like I said in the first post. it seems special to the user, but it's pretty normal for the developer.

I tend to agree with the typical origin story of cheat codes mentioned in it... the devs need a playtest mode and they leave it in there for users to enjoy.

Back in the day, cheat codes really were supposed to be secret and if you decided to use one, there was no turning back. These days, it seems pretty standard to be able to toggle it on and off at will, so I can also see where the other guy was coming from.

Answer 3

The same way regular instructions work, except you don't include it in the documentation and you try not to tell anyone about it.

Answer 5

I must be missing something about the context: Are you making a game where you will allow users to enter predefined cheat codes or are you trying to hack an existing game?
