XtreamLua Compiler 0.2 - Protect your lua code

[gunntims0103]

As i see it, this debate is pointless. In the homebrew scene, yes there are going to be users who copy and steal code without giving credit. Of course this is wrong. There are those nice users who ask the coder if it is alright to update or use and learn parts of the code and im all for that. Unfortunatly many coder's including myself would rather not have there code stolen or relitively used in any way, so this is why we (coders) feel its nessesary to compile our code.

When ever i need help I always ask a coder if i can look at code and such to learn, But i ASK first! As in JC's druglord game. I told him that i would update his game and put out a unofficial release. Nothing wrong with that BUT i ASKed first!

Yeh i agree with that.If you can ask weather you want to look/use the code. But i f you do use it give credit to the original creator of the code.Dont claim the code yourself

S34MU5: Those games use lua for scripting of what happens in the game, not for the actual game engine.

End of the day it is just 'pro-choice'. Don't like it, don't use it but don't enforce the same decision on others.

I tend to release my Lua code stuff under the GPL just to make things simple.

Thank you Yaustar

Vuala a plain and simple answer lol

Nice program, I wonder is it hard to decrypt compiled lua code? It would be fun to make decryption program, oh well lets begin .

[yaustar]

Apparantly not that hard according to the author of luadec . So far, Lua 5.0.2 can be decompiled but not 5.1 which is what LuaPlayer uses.

Coded Warz up in here... Good Title for a game..Yes??. Anyways I know nothing of coding, but love the homebrew scene ever since the first DC Homebrew PAGE.:thumbup: I need to learn this coding games thing. Been reading Learning for Dummy Books. What would anyone suggest be the best start for a total noob for coding anything??

And Back to original Thread, this programm is great, if you don't want anyone stealing your code for anything other than learning purposes.
Great Work Mr.Z:thumbup:
