People, I was wonderning, why did video games have backdoors?(a.k.a cherats?) Well the answer is: If you want to test a game you have to play throught the whole entire thing! So hjaving backdoors to skip levels is really helpful! I am already designing my own secret code for this, plus if you have a long game and takes alot of levels, you can give players a code after everylevel so they can just skip adhead and play where they left off! Cool or what! Morew news coming soon

LOL, how do you propose to do that?

Create a # code of course! I select one #, then it takes me to a new page, I select the next #, and it takes me to the next, and if you click the wrong one, you won't know the differrence cause it will take you to the same page over and over again! Of course this can also become cool cheats....

Thats EASY! Just use your back button and hten suddenly you can be anywhere in the game.  Use Variables instead.

i created a code system in my POP game that i created. it wasnt for the levels. it was for more special information about the characters. it can be done.

Ys I knmow it can be done..

Eventually you will be able to do this with text-variables. But, since we don't have that, here's how I would do it ... what about making a "Combination Lock" page -- you have to pick the right combination of three numbers (1-36).

The chance of someone guessing that would be almost impossible. THey either "get it" or they don't. Doesn't tell them until the third try.

I think this could be accomplished with a Single page and two variables. If someone wants to write an article on this, fifty points are in it for em.
