Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

RIP 💀 gg

#

Kinda too late to lock it down now tho

dim brook
#

its not fully optimized

#

well it is but

#

it doesnt work

#

on controllers

#

only on pc

#

im gonna make it work on controllers

#

but i dont

#

want them to steal that too

lusty pewter
#

What does this script do?

#

Safest is to lock it behind a web server and serve it to their client machines

#

That way they can't access the source code or reverse engineer it that easily

dim brook
#

he didnt get the source code

#

hes selling the file

#

and i dont have a key system in place

#

so he can just claim it as his own

lusty pewter
#

What is "the file"?

dim brook
#

no one would know

#

excecutable file of the python code

#

think of uhh

lusty pewter
#

That can still be reverse engineered eventually to get the source python code

dim brook
#

that dance game where u press the arrow keys

#

it does that for u

#

its similar to that

dim brook
#

but they dont know anything about coding

#

all they did

#

took the thing

#

claimed it as their own

#

and started selling it

#

they have no python experience

lusty pewter
#

right and if you add some sort of licensing key thing inside it and redistribute that with the controller features, guess what? They'll probably reverse engineer that too and break the licensing key in it to use it.

#

They may not know coding, but they'll probably find a hacker/cracker and pay them to do it

#

And change it and sell it off as "their own" again

dim brook
#

ur right

lusty pewter
#

Cant be avoided

dim brook
#

but i still want to add licensing

#

i dont know how to

lusty pewter
#

Just add login to it and track their device ID when they login with it.

#

Then hardlock to that device ID

#

If they try to share the login to other devices, just outright reject because device ID doesn't match

dim brook
#

okay

#

thanks

lusty pewter
#

Good luck

dim brook
#

thank you
