StarCraft cheat codes and how to use them
StarCraft and Brood War have official single-player phrases for resources, power and map visibility. These are the original game’s commands. They are different from StarCraft II’s TerribleTerribleDamage family.

Version notes and help
Minerals, gas and energy
Show me the money changes your economy, while The Gathering changes the energy used by casting units. They are not interchangeable. If an ability is unavailable because the unit or required technology is missing, extra energy alone is not a complete solution.
Supply and production are separate
Food for Thought removes the support constraint; Operation CWAL addresses production time. A blocked building queue can still have another cause. Test one change at a time so you can tell which restriction mattered.
Campaign exploration
Black Sheep Wall is useful for finding an overlooked objective before you resort to an instant win. Keep a clean save to replay the mission without assistance. Blizzard’s level-selection system also distinguishes Brood War missions with an expansion prefix, so do not copy mission names from the wrong campaign.
Common questions
Is there is no cow level a joke or a real command?
It is Blizzard’s documented instant mission-completion code.
Can I use these on the StarCraft II campaign?
No. StarCraft II has its own set of phrases.
