Classic Password Screen System for GDevelop
Designed for retro-inspired RPGs and action-adventures, this Classic RPG Password System delivers a clean, reliable, and expandable way to store player progress using alphanumeric codes. Built to recreate the feel of 8-bit and 16-bit classics, this system lets developers offer a nostalgic “Continue” experience without save files — fully modular, easily customizable, and ready for production.
“Automatic generation, clean validation, and a classic RPG feel — all in one modular password system.”
Core Features
✅ Automatic Password Generation Each time the player completes a level, the system automatically generates the correct password for that level and stores it in a global structure.
✅ Instant Password Display A dedicated Show Password scene displays the code cleanly for the player, using a dynamic text object and optional UI decorations.
✅ Reliable Password Verification Players enter a code in the Enter Password scene, and the system validates it directly against the global PasswordList, loading the appropriate level.
✅ Fully Scalable The same system supports 3 levels… or 300. Add new entries in seconds.
Bring authentic retro progression to your project with this robust, modern-ready password engine.
Interaction & Features
✅ Automatic Level Passwords
Each level completion triggers a direct lookup:
PasswordToShow = PasswordList["L" + ToString(CurrentLevel)]
No manual typing, no mistakes, no missing levels.
✅ Show Password Scene
A clean screen that displays: • Current level • Generated password • Your custom message (“WRITE THIS CODE!”) • Option to continue or return to title
Ideal for retro aesthetics.
✅ Enter Password Scene
Players type characters (A–Z, 0–9, -, _) through your UI. Upon confirming, the system reads the input:
EnteredPassword = InputPassword LookupKey = "L" + EnteredPassword
If found → loads the correct level. If not → shows “Invalid Password” without breaking the flow.
✅ Robust Lookup Logic
The core verification system:
-
Builds dynamic keys (
L1,L2,L3, etc.) -
Safely checks for existence
-
Prevents crashes, duplicates or empty reads
-
Displays fallback text (“N/A”) if a level doesn’t have a stored password
✅ Modular Scene Groups
The system is organized into logical event groups:
-
Init Password List
-
Generate Password
-
Display Password
-
Read User Input
-
Validate
-
Load Level
Each group is documented and easy to expand.
