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
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?

If you have concerns about *protecting* source code, then you, probably, want to refer to this:

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