How do I hide the code for a complete game?

Hey, I've got a noobish question for anyone who can
answer it.

When I complete a game and upload it so others can download it,
how do I hide the code so people can't mess with it?

I've noticed that most of you do this in your own games, where when
you open it up, all you see is the .exe file, and the folders for
graphics, sound, etc, but not the code file.


How would I do this?


Thanks,

WERDNA

The source isn't necessary once it has been compiled, just don't include it in the zip file.

I put mine in a subfolder which I like to call "src" as it looks so much more impressive than "source".

Oh ok, lol.

I had no idea it was that easy ^_^
