Should retrieving source code and resources from a Love game exe be this easy?

[san]

you can call

Code: Select all

copy /b love.exe+game.love game.exe 

in cmd to get an executable, This will put all your code and art into the executable. But if you call

Code: Select all

copy /b game.exe game.love

it will just give you the .love file that can then be turned back to zip and extracted. This can be done to any game made with Love. Is this normal?

Yes?

If you have concerns about *protecting* source code, then you, probably, want to refer to this: viewtopic.php?p=223862#p223862
maybe you found answers to your questions

[san]

Okay, thank you.

You don't even have to rename anything, actually. You can just unzip the .exe directly.

I've never done it before, if anyone has done it, please leave a comment on whether it's difficult or easy for me to follow
