It is feasable to add a small password feature that you make as a block to a certain page?  For example, you need to know the password to get past security.  You leave.  A person says that password is alexprocks.  He enters it in like AlexProcks but capitalization isn't cared about.  Then you can continue on the game.  Devin could turn his games into advanced games and put a password for each game.  That way a person has to work real hard to get to the final chapter. 

Nice password example ;-).

Yes, and here are my brainstorms on how this would be done ...

As an author, you would create a variable, but instead of it beinga  NUMBER, it would be an INPUT variable. This means, at the beginning of the game, the player would be given a textbox and have to enter the value of the variable. Next, you would go to a link and set a variable restriction, for example (PASSWORD = "asdf") and block the link if the password was incorrect.

You could also use INPUT variables for madlibs and to make the game more personalized ("Your mother shouts, %%YOURNAME%% clean your room!!!").
