AFAIK there is no effective way of protecting the sourcecode.
It is possible to create a windows executable by just adding the .love file to the end of the love executable.. but still a veryvery poor protection of sourcecode

I agree that is not possible to have a 100% protection,
but attach the love to the end of exe really helps to avoid the minor attacks
something like 80%... (guessing)

You could compile the source into Lua bytecode.
Re: Love file protection...?
yea but you can decompile it pretty easy and unless you told luac to strip the source your script will more or less pop up in the decompiled file

I guess this might be a post-0.6.0 feature.
@rude: don't worry, if I'm still alive by then (roadmap reference!) I will do it... I think
EDIT: pre and post have very different meanings

Its possible use the LOVE api in the c or c++ language?
And for some features have a LUA script loader and execute the code to make IA scripts for example?

By the way... get the program a little bit faster, if i compile the sourcecode to bytecode?

Startup time might be a bit less, because it doesn't need to compile the file, but I doubt it's noticeable. After that, there should be no difference at all.Fruchthieb wrote:By the way... get the program a little bit faster, if i compile the sourcecode to bytecode?
