Cheat codes in video games are intentionally programmed by the game developers themselves as built-in features for testing or player enjoyment. These codes are part of the original game design, not external modifications or hacks. Game players use cheat codes but don't create them, game hackers create unauthorized modifications rather than official cheat codes, and third-party vendors may sell strategy guides but don't program the actual cheat codes.

Vector graphics use mathematical equations and geometric primitives (points, lines, curves) to represent images, allowing them to be scaled infinitely without quality loss. Raster graphics (option A) use pixel grids, 'Scalar graphics' (option B) is not a standard graphics term, and 'Bitmap Architecture' (option D) refers to raster image storage, not mathematical image representation. The key advantage of vector graphics is that they remain sharp at any size because they're defined by formulas rather than fixed pixels.
