Truth: Unfortunately, this is true.

It's been giving Yoyo a lot of grief, as it can now decompile Instant Play Games. :O

They can decompile EVERYTHING in the EXE. Sprites, Sounds, Backgrounds, Icons(I think), Objects, Object Programming, EVERYTHING.

Use ENIGMA, or something that isn't GM.

ANSWER: Yes, there is, via the GM Obfuscator -- this handy program makes your code unreadable, yet it still operates properly. This should only be used once you finish the game, and create an .exe of it. Never do this to the source file, because the process is irreversible. I'm surprised most people don't know about this :\ -------------------- Allusion - [\|\|--------] 25% complete* GridLocked - [\|\|\|\|------] *45% complete* my blog

until someone writes a program that can simplify obfuscation enough to make the source at least comprehendable again

Not possible, because it won't know the object/resources true name, unless the player renames it.

Small things, like the extra amount of spacing or comments can be removed. But that does not help too much.
