Code Points

Codepoints are one of the in-game currencies in ShiftOS, the other being Bitnotes. Due to Phil's innocence, it has been abbreviated to "CP" in-game. Hopefully he realized what CP actually stands for...

Usage
Codepoints are primarily used for buying upgrades in Shiftorium, however they can be exchanged for Bitnotes later in the game.

Bitnote exchange rate
In 0.0.8, players could exchange Codepoints for Bitnotes after unlocking the Shiftnet. For every 24 Codepoints given away to the Bitnote Shiftnet site, the player would gain one Bitnote - allowing them to buy programs and services off sites like Appscape.

Earning Codepoints
Codepoints would be earned by doing almost anything in ShiftOS. The most effective way to earn Codepoints was Pong, which soon became a meme in the community as ShiftOS would soon become Pong Simulator 2032 during 1.0's development.

Other ways of earning Codepoints included getting 10 items right in Knowledge Input, customizing the OS in Shifter, writing long documents in TextPad, and drawing pictures in ArtPad.

The amount of Codepoints earned, and the effort required, would depend on what the player is doing and how the program they are using is written.
