Hi gamedev, I am trying to come up with a Cheat/Power up system for my game and I am not sure what I want so I came up with somethings that I or someone playing my game might want. By the way this is for a simple pong game and the cheats/powerups would include the ball going faster, invisible paddles, bigger paddles for a certain amount of time etc. So here is the list and tell me what you would include as functionality. 1. Should only the player who activated the cheat be able to use the cheat? 2. When the cheat is active where does it display the countdown of activity? 3. When the cheat is active would it be possible for another player to use their cheats? 4. When the cheat is active would it be possible to get more cheats, should the cheat giving timer stop until the cheat is done? 5. Would it be possible to add cheat to cheat to make a super cheat?
