I am not speaking for Ilya, but from skimming through the dialogue it struck me that you didn't respond from the perspective of managing the process, but from a pure engineer mindset of providing alternatives. It would've been better if you started by 1. understanding the issue 2. acknowledging that the type system has an obvious bug 3. looking at the issue from the perspective of the person bringing attention to the issue. I don't think anyone was looking for workarounds, but looking for 1. acknowledgment of the issue 2. acknowledgment of what the issue leads to in terms of inconvenience 3. a forward looking vision for future improvements +1

My only graphical systems are Mac, whereas my linux machines are all headless. Sadly I have not been able to try the game.

Bro I would be shocked if people are excited to run a mystery binary
downloaded from Google Drive.
The ELF binary does contain arsd symbols, and at least VMs and Unix
systems give us privilege and resource isolation safety these days.
Still, why not source code on Github?
The reason why I won't show the source code is because I don't want
anyone hacking the game or find out the surprises hidden in the game, I
want the game to be a mystery, you have to play it to know what is gonna
happen. I also don't want anyone stealing my idea.
I promise I don't mean to be rude, just "confrontationally instructive." =)
But as far as the game, the strings are all in the binary:
```
Alabaster Amphora
Beautiful souvenir from Silmaria, you smell hippocrene water.
Those are delicious, and healthy.
Those are shiny gold Dracmas, use it well.
This is a cheap weapon which you can throw at the enemy.
Someone has been looking for this since 2003.
This should be 100 Brazilian Reals.
Eating this might teach me to speak Chinese.
It says Davy Jones on the label of this product.
```
(incidentally it look like a funny game to be sure)
And as far as the code, you have somehow imported the source text of one
of your files into the binary:
```
// Starting items
ItemForSale alabasterAmphora = ItemForSale("Alabaster Amphora",
"Beautiful souvenir from Silmaria, you smell hippocrene water.",
Image.fromMemoryImage(loadImageFromMemory(cast(immutable ubyte[])
import("items/alabaster amphora.jpeg"))),
Image.fromMemoryImage(loadImageFromMemory(cast(immutable ubyte[])
import("icons/icon alabaster amphora.jpeg"))),
200, false),
fruits = ItemForSale("Fruits", "Those are delicious,
and healthy.",
```
Anyway, my point is -- try to not to worry to much that others will
steal your code or your idea. A determined adversary will do what he wants.
My final suggestion is that -- given this is a D programming
enthusiasts' newsgroup, where we are interested in seeing D code, you
might get great feedback on the code itself.
Kind regards

IMO, that view is misguided, because as soon as some software runs on the user's PC, it's already open to reverse-engineering. Given enough time and effort, everything can be reverse-engineered. The catch is, "given enough time and effort". Meaning, it's *possible* to reverse-engineer everything, but whether or not someone will actually do it depends on whether they consider it worth their time and effort. I'd surmise practically everyone will consider it not worth the effort. By extension, given the source code, people might be curious to look at a couple of pages of it, but I honestly doubt they'd have the motivation to comb through every last page to ferret out any secrets you may have hidden. (And if they actually did, then congratulations, you've gained a dedicated follower. That's not a bad thing! You *want* users with that level of dedication.) Providing source code is mainly for convenience to people who might want to compile it for platforms you do not have (thus spreading the word about your program). T -- The two rules of success: 1.
