Welcome.

I wouldn't start by installing cheats on Dink. It takes all the fun away, and can even screw up some of the games.

Hi and welcome Daniella.
Dink is a great game, just play away and don't be in a rush to move on to the next part - build your strength, defence and magic up by killing off monsters etc and you wont need to cheat at all.
If you get stuck somewhere, just post back here and someone will be around to help.
Hope you enjoy playing.

You have to find your Dink data directory. I am not sure where it is. It's usually in /usr/var/games/Dink/dink or somewhere funny like that. If you run it from the command line it will probably pop up and tell you where to look.

Then you have to extract the Ultimate Cheat files into the Story directory and then ingame press the C buttons for the cheat menu.

that is due to the shootty system of admin rights in windows 7 to get around it simply open your unpacking file with admin rights if you have that power(hope so for you) then it will unpack it for you

You feed the madness, and it feeds on you. 
I care not for the cookies exdeathevn offers people, as they exist merely as a diversion.
By the way Dinkulum, I am holding your choc-chips hostage.

I took them after following you for several days - this does not make me weird in any way... no.
I may follow you to gain information about your cookies, but I am not a stalker.

Oh yeh, on a completely unrelated topic - Daniella, you forgot to close your fridge last night. Don't worry, I closed it for you.

dunno hw to in ubuntu but in windows 7 it is going to the extraction tool's executable and right clicking open as admin.(providing the system gave you enough access) all then needed is confirming you did it and not some spyware or other harmful code

Welcome Daniella.
Here you go:
1.Download ultimate cheats. (Ultimate Dink-Cheataz I suppose)

2. Extract the zip file
3. Select all files, right click on one of them and select copy.
4. Go into the folder you installed Dink. In it you should see another folder named 'dink'
5. Open it and go into 'story' folder.
6. Paste them all
7 Run the game
8. Press A for weapons, S for lots of stats, D for health.
9. Read the readme file in the cheataz folder if you want to know anything more.

The operation is upcoming, I just have to shave my beard and get a fake ID.

I just think transsexuals are under-represented on this board.

The dink data on Ubuntu is in /usr/share/games/dink. I've gotten a lot of the dink stuff on Ubuntu figured out, so you can ask me if you have a problem. Don't know about cheat though. Sorry, I just don't use cheats (I'd rather spend hours cursing the game in language that would make a sailor cry... ).

You know, I think Daniella left because all of us were making our long-time jokes and she dint know a thing. We should really try to welcome newbies in a better way
Although i admit she shouldn't have tried to cheat.

If we start welcoming members, this place would lose its character.

I think this place could certainly afford to lose a few of its characters.
