	cheats.checkToTriggerCheat()
end)

-- api
function cheats.addToBuffer(text)
	cheats.buffer = (cheats.buffer:len() == cheats.maxBufferLength and cheats.buffer:sub(2) or cheats.buffer) .. text:lower()
end

function cheats.checkToTriggerCheat()
	for i=1,cheats.buffer:len() do
		local text = cheats.buffer:sub(i)
		if cheats.hits[text] then
