Could we be inside a computer simulation, an artificial reality inside a cosmic supercomputer?

…no…
…life is real, having my morning coffee after waking up…
…its already1230 noon, now that’s living in the real world…

No.
But then again, if we were would you know?

We were. But the dang thing broke. And nobody got money to fix it.

Wow, I think you may be half way to solving the meaning of life. Keep up, the good work Aristotle.
This idea is also explored in the Matrix trilogy films, where humans have been superceded by their robot creations and are now being harvested as a limitless power source, hidden from the real world inside The Matrix. A fabricated simulation of what the world used to look like. Some however managed to escape and formed a rebellion against the machines.
This brings me to your point where you asked would people learn the cheat codes for this program. If people were able to manipulate the code, this would imply an interface exists between the us and the program, which would therefore imply a conduit in which to cross over to the real world. But if we could cross over, how would we manifest ourselves? The actual idea of the “person” in the program is entirely abstract, in reality they would exist as nothing more than data values in memory locations.
You also mention this program simulation as an infinitely executing loop. Do this means that every cycle of the loop is one lifetime of the universe and that each time the loop executes, a completely different universe is born based on some parameters given? OR, does this loop have no conditions or parameters and implements the exact same behaviour over and over? And if the latter is true, then does this mean its possible to use the interface to discover exactly what is going to happen later in the loop, or even jump to a different point in the loop i.e. time travel.
Hmmm I wonder.

The world wasn’t going to exist
So called “programmers” want the world to end but not all
Chaotic Universe
Man can be his own worst enemy
We have to remember our past for the future
To what can become of Earth and Humans

Maybe angels, aliens, gnomes and fairy folk could represent another species that is another simulation of its’ own. Maybe the overseers are demented school age kids trying to wreak havoc on another set of intelligent beings. Like we were sea monkey’ in an aquarium.
I don’t believe that we are in a computer. I believe that a computer would be an invention of our own thought. The circuitry with metal and wires with soldering would be too savage, too primitive. If we were in something, shouldn’t be more than we could imagine? Something that if it could be conceived would bring sheer enlightenment? A feeling of which we could not comprehend once found. The enlightenment would turn to sheer terror in the realization that we are not what we thought we were. Would we die without the motivation of living. Would we be able to live with knowing that we were really not beings at all?
Could we be a thought in some cosmic gas floating around the universe with electrical sparks with current flickering through it. The thought lasting a millisecond but, lasting what we believe to be eternity?
Could we be microbes in a drop of water. The water droplet hitting a surface. the displacement of this droplet as it hits the surface appear to us to be the expansion of the universe. Once again lasting a millisecond but being an eternity in our sense of thought.
Snap out of it. We are here, we are now. Grab the hair on the back of your neck and pull up as hard as you can. Do you think someone typing on a computer ould force you to do this. Force you to do this to secure your feelings of self being. No, you are the one that needs to do this for you. You are here on the Earth with war, destruction, famine,dispare, sunlight, birth and beautifull things. you just need to slow down and take in the nice things once in a while. Take a day off and add a shot of whiskey to your cofee. You need to realize that this is it.
