Distributing binaries (again)

[VirusX]

Friendly greetings (: I just started using Love2D (still playing with bubble wrap) but so far I LÖVE it.

I just read wiki page about distributing games and to me it looks like we are distributing game with a source code (well at least Mac version). So I did quick search in forum and found some old topics. Anyway was wondering if anything changed since then, maybe there is a way to pack .love in compiled binaries? Or compile to binaries?

I'm not talking about protecting the code, just don't wants someone to read my source code as I use bad language while commenting J

Not really, no. But if you use the regular distribution method, few if any people will just stumble upon your source code (who thinks of unzipping files that don't end in .zip?) And most of the people who will find it, probably know that swearing in comments is very, very common.

I consider all comments in the code to be easter eggs for curious players. Too bad for them most of the funny ones are in Swedish.

swedish you say, eh?

mojang, eh?

You might want to look at Squish. It does obfuscate code if you want that, but you can also just minify your code to cut out comments.

I think you're mixing us up with Canada.

I was just kidding but can I get some info on those swedish comments?

There really isn't much to talk about. It's mostly me being proud of "clever" variable names. For example, keeping track of whether the buttons are pressed or not is done by the variable pushTheButtonAndLetMeKnow

Also, the class for the UI buttons is called Butt. I find this hilarious.
