The Computer is what you get with the Arena and the Inside Your Box tabs after getting the P, L, A, and Y stones and getting the Talking candy to unlock the The Candy Box. It lets you
- Change the number of Sweets you have.
- Mess your game up with bugs.
- Find hidden commands.
How to use it[ | ]
(For adding) add (Quantity) candies/Lollipops/chocolatebars/painsauchocolat (Quantity can be in scientific notation, i.e. 1e9999 which changes the inventory value to "Infinity")
- (For bugs) Bug Quest/Ultimate/Graphical 0/1/2/3/4
What the bugs do[ | ]
Quest kills everything. You can easily fix it by reloading the page or changing the bug level to 0.
- Random damage multiplier between 1 and 3, and each entity randomly moves slightly around (increasing as quest level increases).
- Jump speed is erratic (per jump), Hit points are multiplied (practically leading to full health)
- No specific effect, but random movement is guaranteed.
- Collision is based on coin-flip, and maximum hp is has a random multiplier (e.g. updated when eating candies)
Graphical changes all the text. You can fix it by reloading, or changing bug level.
- Strings have a random character changed sometimes (increases by bug level)
- (No immediate effect, only amplifies result of existing bug)
- Tag positions are randomized - this makes also makes it hard to navigate the menus.
- String positions are randomized.
Ultimate kills your game. You can fix it by reloading, or changing bug level, although effects by these bugs may persist even if bug level is reverted.
- One-out-of-any becomes a coin flip.
- Random numbers are rigged; "between" two numbers always returns maximum, flipping a coin returns true. Game-state booleans may be to be randomized when read.
- A random position is chosen well into the negatives, and a random number upTo something is also negative. Game-state nubmers may be randomized when read.
- A random choice from an array returns one of ["a", "b", "c", "d", -852, null, "aniwey", "ilovebugs", "42", 42]. Saved game strings may be randomized when read.
Thus making the Candy Box 2 'The Computer'
