Codidactyl game and code - creation process and obfuscation

+8
−0

I am interested in knowing how the recent Codidactyl game and its code were created and obfuscated. See the non-announcement.

From other posts, it appears that luap42 and Monica Cellio may have worked on it. I was able to format the code easily and see roughly what is happening, but the obfuscation was a beast. Without knowing what utility was used, it's hard to get a real look.

My contribution was to say "sounds neat" when luap42 shared the code for review. :-)

It would be fine to ask this on meta. But currently, "asking to explain what a certain code does, unless they are small and an attempt to understand them is also added" is listed as off-topic for this site. https://software.codidact.com/help/on-topic. The meta discussion thread can be found here: https://software.codidact.com/posts/278648. As for whether obfuscation in itself is off-topic: no it isn't. I proposed to make it off-topic but there was no clear community consensus.

@Lundin But the Q is not about explaining a code. TS is asking what tool was used to obfuscate the code.

As currently written, I also think this belongs more to meta than the main site. I will try to figure out a way to migrate it there and reopen it (have an issue with migration due to meta tags).

This question was moved from Q&A to Meta and then reopened here. (Mentioning in case the previous comments are confusing in the new context.)

Alexei‭, in what way is "gamification" a relevant tag for this question? It's about a game, but that's not the same thing.

Peter Taylor‭ Yes, I was confused. I have removed the tag. Thanks.
