New game blur!
Game blur is installed to use cheats on a project. Here is an example project installed to game blur.
Warning: Game blur will only work online.
If you want your project installed to game blur, copy this and edit it:
Code:
*the link to the project* - *cheat 1* - *cheat 2* - *cheat 3* - *cheat 4 and code (optional)* - *cheat 5 and code (optional)* *anything extra (optional)*
You will soon have your project remixed using the cheats.

You will get more views because every game blur project (exept the example) is right here:
None so far!

Re: New game blur!
This is an interesting concept! I think to make this work you need to give gamemakers an incentive. Who wants people to be able to cheat on their games? You need to say "If you join in with GameBlur, we'll give you something in return." This could be in the form of love-it's and faves, but what I'd do is set up a site that links to any game that supports game blur. If you do it right, people will add gameblur into their games to get more views.
Things you should consider:
Rather than having the game remixed as a cheat, as you suggest, have them make the cheat in their own version, so they are the ones who get the publicity for their games. You have to remember that apart from chain remixes, a lot of people are suspicious and hostile about remixing.
Advertising: Advertise wherever you can without being annoying, e.g. your projects, your sig and the show and tell forum.
Make sure you have the whole scheme set out before telling people about it.
Make sure that gameblur isn't a pain to add to a project. Create Tutorials explaining how cheat codes can be easily added to a game, and then suggest gamblur as an option that will increase their viewcount and then explain how they can implement it.
Hope this helps, and, as Leslie Nielsen once said: "good luck, we're all counting on you".

For the blue part, they already can have it in thier version. They just post in the box in the main post and edit it.
Spare bump

Here's an example post:

- get 100$
- skip to level 5
- 50 lives
- complete the game / code: 11536A4
Can you please change the top bar color to red in the game blur? Thanks.

Re: New game blur!
Zorket, this is a great concept 
, but i don't see how it fits in Advanced Topics. 
Maybe you could get it moved to Show and Tell, where more people will view it?
Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.
