This game has uncompiled source code.
This game has debugging material.
This game has anti-piracy features.This page largely focuses on the 48k version of the game.
 | To do: Several unused routines. Also, what's in the 128k version? |
Cheat Mode
A cheat mode is programmed into the game, but it's disabled when the game boots up. You can re-enable it by entering the following pokes:
POKE 27236,194
POKE 27237,92
POKE 27238,138
If done correctly, a sound will play when pressing the down key/button during gameplay. It allows the player to go back to basic by pressing X and allows the player to jump to any level by entering any two digit number 00 to 49. Note that the player has to enter a 0 first to go to any room between 0 and 9. If a player enters a number higher than 49, the game merely resumes.
Source Code
A piece of source code for the stat regeneration was included in the game. It can be seen in the .tap dump at 8F07:

"Hello, Hacker"
If the player attempts to break into the game, they will be greeted with the above message and a starfield routine rather than the game. Pressing a key here restarts the Spectrum. One easy way to see this is to use a merge command with the ZX Spectrum's built-in BASIC.
The 128k version expanded this screen, by adding much more on the text and played some of the game's music:
HELLO HACKER.
FANCY MEETING YOU HERE !
