I think in the future, I will make a very tricky encryption algorithm that obfuscates the code so that only the game can read it. You won't be able to steal levels because the game will know you are loading an encrypted level and won't let you save changes to it. Also, the level portal won't accept the encrypted version. You will only be able to post a level if you have the original copy of the code.
Now the fun part will be figuring out how to make one that no one else can figure out how to decode....


I think you should remove the copy-paste ability from playing the levels. That'll prevent User stuff from happening and possibly some types of illegal contests.

Stealing is just plain wrong. It's insulting. Glitch Palace was stolen numerous times.

No matter what you do, there will always be people that will find someway to steal the code. That's just how this world works.

True, but we still have the new portal. This won't be a problem in awhile... :3

Yeah, we can always do things to temporarily stop them. But eventually they'll figure out a way to do what they want. Trust me. ;)
