New TW Glitch?

[CamdenT]

I have discovered that pressing certain keys in Tile World 1 has some strange effects that can change the outcome of the level. After pressing any key to start the level, pressing the following keys will have these effects:

F2: decreases the "Chips Left" count by 1

F3: adds a red key to inventory

F4: adds a blue key to inventory

F5: adds a yellow key to inventory

F6: adds a green key to inventory

F7: adds skates to inventory

F8: adds suction boots to inventory

F9: adds fire boots to inventory

F10: adds fliipers to inventory

This could be a problem because it allows players to cheat, but this does not work in TW2.

when I used TW 1 (through CC Edit 2.0) this doesn't work; pressing the F keys makes chip oof in any direction (even if he could move in that direction)

/ does not work in Lynx at all, even the oofing, for me

-----

on a side note: I swear you used to be able to "view" the whole level while playing by holding down some key then pressing arrow keys. The 8x8 viewing grid would pan away from chip and look around the level. Am I crazy or is that possible in some version of TW?

I used TW1 (with the ice block patch because that's what I had downloaded), and it did work. I'm surprised I haven't seen this before.

Nice Debug Mode nobody knew about lolz.

I always thought this might have been a function intended for developing the program and was kind of forgotten into some released versions of TW1. It is not mentioned in the documentation. Moving of the viewable window that mobius mentioned works when you press shift and the arrow keys while playing (not during replay). Viewing the whole map during replay would be much more useful for analyzing the level. The F-key cheats don't really help anything that you couldn't do out of an editor yourself.

Is this all for real? I never heard of these "cheats" before.

I remembered these too, but I just tried them now in TW1 with no luck... Maybe it was older, pre-v1.3 versions of TW1 that had it?

I have two versions of TW1: one regular, one with ice blocks. (The latter was downloaded from pieguy's site if I remember right.) This only works in the one with ice blocks.

So *that's* what this refers to.

Update: The version of Tile World i have is the ice block version.

Also, i discovered that it cannot be used to cheat, because if any of these keys are pressed the game doesn't save the score. For example if you complete the level and advance to the next one, you'll see that if you go back to the previous level the "Best Score:" is missing.
