[CLOSED] How do I protect my source code?

I made a simple game that I'd like to release to some people, but I don't want them to be able to modify the code. How can I make it so my code is protected from users? 😐 Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have to create an executable (.exe) out of your source code. You send your friends the .exe

Jay Matthews Chris C. I FIXED IT! What I meant was I don't want an easy way for users to access the code. I didn't realize I only need to give them the .exe for it to work. I was worried that I'd have to give users the source code file which then allows them to directly modify it. Thank you both!! 😁 If I could 'best answer' both of you I would!

Jay Matthews Thanks for the quick reply! So basically there's no way for me to protect my code from outside sources?

Jay Matthews I had a feeling about that... I just wanted to make sure before I took any drastic measures. Thank you! 🙂
