Cheats

To use these cheats in-game you need to bring up the chat via the Enter key and enter the text seen in the "Cheat text" column below, and it will have the effect seen in the column "Cheat effect". Note that you need to enter it exactly as you see it here. I.e. you need to enter TARDIS and not Tardis or tardis.
