It seems like all my life is is just working on video games, eating, going to the bathroom, and sleeping. I sleep a lot. Anyway, e5frog helped me with the password code for Quest of the Cranberry for the Channel F and I think I have it working correctly now.

The hard part was converting parts of a variable to different values, separating the variable, and then storing those separate variables into new variables. I must have worked on this for a total of about 12 hours before life finally let me have the correct way.

The game will accept "weird" numbers, those not able to be put on screen at the beginning of a level, but since they're never on screen, the player won't see them. The player must be fooling around pressing random buttons on the title screen and accidentally stumble across one.

The latest build is on the website now. The passcode for level 2 is 243124, plus another 4 numbers at the end of that for the health amount you had. So in all, ten buttons to press to continue isn't too bad. The numbers in the passcode correspond to the numbers on the buttons on the console, another thing working in my favor is that there's only 4 numbered buttons and four possible digits in a 2-bit number, which is 1/4 the size of an 8-bit number, the 0-255 value we've come to know and love.

Now my brain hurts and is ready to explode after all the thinking I've been doing these past couple of days.
