ErrorCodes
From Despoiler
Errors frequently appear after finishing a game of Chain Factor (any mode) and before you submit your high score. A simple numeric list of codes is at the bottom of this page. A numerical table of the values is listed below - if you add an error to the page, please update the table (or note if you have not).
For details of what the Level and Code in the Errors mean, and for details of ErrorCodes yet to be found, see ErrorCode Predictions.
ErrorCodesByCode lists the errors by code letter rather than in strict numerical order.
