All the versions of adventure that i've seen have included a
wizard's password. In the source i've seen that password has
appeared in wizard.c, sometimes in its encrypted form. The
purpose of the password seems to be to let you resume the
game faster after having saved. This seems to be its only
purpose. I found it rather annoying that after spending a
good deal of time getting through the entire adventure, and
finally receiving the wizard's password that the password
proved to be rather worthless.

Does anybody know if there is a wizard password for Adventure?
I was looking at the listing of the source files for Adventure
and noticed there was a wizard.c file. Does anybody know anything
about these?
Please post results.

Re: Wizard password - I have in several versions that there exists a wizard password used by the debuggers' which allowed you to move anywhere and shut the cave by a command - kind of fun to use to show off.

Well, with zork there is something called "GDT" that is basically a wizard level: you can pick up random objects, move to random places, etc. It's kind of fun because you really don't know what you are doing and you can explore wonderful problems like: what happens if you pick up the troll? In fact it is fine until you drop him... To get to this level, type GDT as yor first command, and then answer the question that zork asks you... The answer isn't too easy to figure out, by the way...
