XtreamLua Compiler 0.2 - Protect your lua code

[Zion]

I'm a teacher and I teach high school students. I don't go around stamping them on the forehead so people know that they're using information that came from me. Nor do I have to repeat Einstein's name every time I say E=MC2.

And you do have a choice. You could be coding in C.

Teacher? try teaching them not to be a arrogant moron then. + i think coders know a little bit more on the subject than you and i have a choice yeah, I CAN ENCRYPT MY LUA FILES.

edit - decided to reverse warning

It just encrypts them so that you cant open them with word processors.

I couldn't disagree with you more. I would much rather have the FREE CHOICE to either release my LUA code open or close-sourced. Your intensity in your opposition is strange at the very least.

the reason his opposition is so intense is because he is proly one of the people that steals code from the games we make. I am very touchy on this subject. People have entirely ripped games from my fellow coders/board members. Zion and Gunntims both (as far as i know) have had people take their entire game then replace the graphics, and call it their owm, and in the script, it still has the authors comments and sometimes even their own names in it. i.e. properties of so and so.

LOL those people have to be dumb to copy code and leave the authors Names in it and still not give credit lol:P

Well If me Zion and Gunntims can learn all we know from tutorials what stops them from doing the same if they just take the time to learn it and not just copy?

Well I definitely agree with you there. I do think that it is best to learn all that you can from tutorials. That's what they're for. But as you've seen, I'm sure, tutorials and real programming aren't always the same. I'm not defending code stealing. I think that people should give credit where credit is due, but I also think that you shouldn't worry so much when someone doesn't give credit.

The original point that I was trying to make is that this type of program doesn't stop code stealing and it doesn't make people give credit. It slows down the scene.

No, I don't steal code, just to set the matter straight. Though I have made a few programs for the PC in C++ in the past, I'm more of a hardware modder. I guess I'm just an ultra liberal and that flows into everything that I'm interested in.

[ninja9393]

people ask me all the time, can i look at your code so i can learn from it, and of course i say yes

I dont think i will compile my games cause not everyone copies your code directly some people just want to learn from it

btw, i warned you for that post for insulting me and another member too + trolling, watch your big mouth in future

who's insulting who now?

It does stop code stealing, are you that stupid that you cant see that?

it says Lua Compliler..... and it encypts the code so it cannot be read so... how doesnt it stop code stealing??????

and how does it slow down the scene?
all it does is make people do there own work and take more time doing it becuase there is no easy way out anymore

[MasterChafed]

yeah, i went through the tutorials and learned on my own. I had help yes, but i didnt resort to stealing code to get that help. Stealing code is being lazy, its not making a game/app if you dont know what your coding.

Yes if you don't know what you are doing then just keep reading tutorials:thumbup:
