What if Naev had cheat codes?

From Naev Blarg: link to original post

Many of you will have used the in-game Lua console to cheat, or at least know how to. But I was thinking, what if cheating was a feature? So I came up with this for the on-start event:

``` godsequence = {“left”, “right”, “left”, “right”, “target_clear”, “target_clear”, “target_clear”, “hail”}

function create () player.pilot():addOutfit( “Laser Cannon MK1”, 2 ) hook.input(“input”) isgod = false godcode = 0 end ```

function input(key, pressed) if pressed and key == godsequence[godcode + 1] then godcode = godcode + 1 if godcode == #godsequence then togglegod() godcode = 0 end elseif pressed and godcode > 0 then godcode = 0 input(key, pressed) end end

function togglegod() isgod = not isgod player.pilot():setInvincible(isgod) if isgod then player.msg("God mode!") else player.msg("God mode off.") end end

As you can see (or not), it adds a cheat code to the game much like the codes for old console games. The only way it would be better is if it responded to “IDDQD”, but that can’t work for a variety of reasons.

Note, this isn’t actually ingame. You’re going to have to keep using the console to get your mad cheats.
