Passcodes Documentation
Beep8 includes a simple passcode system to let players unlock levels or features. Passcodes are short strings that can be easily shared and entered by players. They use a key, and then automatically generate different codes for each level or feature. There’s also a built-in system for entering passcodes in-game, so you don’t have to build your own UI. You can see them in action in Crate Crew on BeepMini.
