  1. @toksyuryel I couldn't agree more, but I will admit that I don't know how to do this either. The game I am currently writing is FOSS, due to it being based on GPLv2 code, and I must say I truly enjoy writing open-source software more than I thought I would. Knowing that others can read your code means they can directly see you progress as a programming, and can help point out mistakes you've made (like @bitshift did recently regarding double equal signs in my Javascript code). I understand that most game developers wouldn't want their code to be visible, as they fear piracy, but I wonder if that's actually true. I mean, let's be honest, how many people are going to share source code when they can just let one person buy the game and pass the binary files around?
