If you keep on saying things like that, I will make a patch obfuscator patch just so that the content of threads about obfuscation would shift away from hypothesis and towards real issues. That would be worth it, in terms of getting the debate to evolve past what pd-list was saying a decade ago or so.
i meant using obfuscation (and making an obfuscatore for using it) is not worth it. if a obfuscated patch is very ingenious than it might make sense to spend the time to decipher it. if not, than it is easy to build everything yourself anyway. i have attached my proof of concept pd-obfuscator. (only random positioning, but adding deletion of comments and making cryptic names should be not too hard) it was quite easy indeed, and i learned that pd is not as bad for manipulationg strings as i thought it was. and i did not know before that the (quite powefull) list-objects are in vanilla(?).(they are not in (my) help-intro.pd)
bis denn! martin
