Standalone games?

[ehcb]

How, when you've finished a game, do you make sure that people can't load it into AGIstudio and look at the source files?

If I ever make a game I'd rather people used it as a game as opposed to a tutorial...

Well, you can encrypt an AGI game, but we already have the decryption tools.  Any time I see something cool in a game, I look at the code so I can learn something new.

Yeah, I do that with a lot of games. Just to see how to add a certain effect to my game. Just to know it exists .

[ehcb]

Yeah, I do that too...
I just don't want people ruining it for themselves...

[Joel]

Unfortunately, you're in a community of AGI developers who have tools that can easily decompile games into barely-readable code.

About the only people who wouldn't be able to ruin the game for themselves even if they should so desire would be non-developers.

[ehcb]

Very well...
