#Secret-Codes

Issue #6194 new
Cory Benthall created an issue

This may be a long shot… but what if BigBox had secret codes, like a built in Game Genie. It could possibly piggy back off of the current search window… but instead of searching for a game name, and you want to enter a code, you type a “#” in front of your code to access a particular secret. I’m thinking this could also be used to access certain options in BigBox such as “#show-hidden- games”, “#show-broken-games” or “#show-mature-games”. It could also be used to maybe access BigBox easter eggs, theme specific easter eggs put in by the creator, or any command that can be mapped to a button… but you don’t have enough physical buttons for (ex: “#mute” or “#shutdown”). The idea came to me after downloading a fan made POLYBIUS game, and thinking it would be cool to have to enter a code to gain access to it. If this is possible, it would also make it possible to turn off all adult content on the fly if kids are playing. I can only imagine it would also open up other possibilities in the future that I haven’t thought of.
