Opuscating code

EDIT: Yeah, I think that isn't allowed.

It isnt

I seriously am clueless to whatever you all are saying. Can anyone explain this to me maybe?

[joecooldoo]

@cookieclickerer33 wants a way to hide something ("Opuscating" ^[sic]) in their code to make it harder for someone to read it. Unfortunately, I think this isn't allowed.

[turtle-coder]

So by doing something complicated, he's attempting to make it hard to remix.Right?

[joecooldoo]

That or making it hard to find a secret

make the project self destruct if it’s edited

I don't think that's allowed, sadly.

I mean, I made a challange involving self-destructing projects, but all of them could be disarmed.

[joecooldoo]

That project was for a fun kind of thing. They want to make their code un-readable, which isn't allowed. It seems their going to do it anyway, so I wouldn't be surprised if they got a warning or got banned for doing this.

[starbox614]

huh. I've sometimes given blocks misleading labels to distract from secrets in games, but I guess that isn't really making the code unreadable.

[pajamaclaws21]

IIRC, it is allowed but like annoying/frowned upon to purposefully make your code unreadable-- while the bit that is not allowed is making your project unable to be remixed/edited through methods like a self-destructing project.

[starbox614]

any self destructing project can be disarmed using XML editing or JS code.

example

running this code in the console will disable the WHEN EDITED hat block:

StageMorph.prototype.fireUserEditEvent = ()=>{};

[pajamaclaws21]

I think that is beside the point, though.

[cookieclickerer33]

I literally said I’m not doing it
