Scratch

You could have the cheat ask box appear only in some special condition:
here the player has to press and hold up arrow and c pressed for 3 seconds 

when green flag clicked
forever
   wait until < <key [up arrow v] pressed?> and <key [c v] pressed?>>
   wait (3) secs
   if < <key [up arrow v] pressed?> and <key [c v] pressed?>>
      ask [enter secret code...] and wait
      if <(answer) = [mySecretCode]>
         say [do something!]
      end
      if <(answer) = [myOtherSecretCode]>
         say [do something else!]
      end
   end
end

or, if you didn't want them to see the cheatcode box, do

forever
if <key [space v] pressed?> //clear cheatcode
 set [cheatcode v] to []
end
if <key [a v] pressed?>
 set [cheatcode v] to (join (cheatcode) [a])
end
if <key [b v] pressed?>
 set [cheatcode v] to (join (cheatcode) [b])
end
...
if <key [z v] pressed?> 
 set [cheatcode v] to (join (cheatcode) [z]
end
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?>
 set [cheatcode v] to (join (cheatcode) [<up>])
end
if <key [down arrow v] pressed?>
 set [cheatcode v] to (join (cheatcode) [<down>]
end
if <key [left arrow v] pressed?>
 set [cheatcode v] to (join (cheatcode) [<left>])
end
if <key [right arrow v] pressed?>
 set [cheatcode v] to (join (cheatcode) [<right>]
end
if <[codes v] contains (cheatcode)>  //if you want to disable a cheatcode you can delete it from this list
 if <(cheatcode) = [something]>
  do stuff
 end
 if <(cheatcode) = [somethingelse]>
  do other stuff
 end
 ...
 set [cheatcode v] to [] //clear code so it won't trigger again
end

Sorry  for asking this on your topic but I figured out myself how to add cheats to m game, but theres one problem, is there any way to stop people seeing the cheat code if they download the game?

I use the method':

when.p. pressed:
ask. enter cheat code here. and wait.

If answer = ( my cheat code )
do something.

thanks i figured it out after a few tryes and its great thanks so much it will really help.
