Pah, its all in your head. encrypting this is pretty futile, since you
have to give "the enemy" a decrypter with the product.

And what is "the enemy" actually? A player that wants to hack a god
mode into a game? Its not that it is so difficult to do otherwise,
even on pure assembled C code. Take a look at "CheatEngine" and
various tutorials online how to use it.

Is the "the enemy" the competition? Exactly those sure know how to
call a decompiler, or how to find the decryption code in your C code,
and apply it.

No, if you want byte code support, you need to argue with:
* size on harddisc
* loadding time
* portability with lua tools creating bytecode

Never this encryption "arms race":

Take a look at:

To see Mike Palls hate against the obfustication / deobfustication "arms race".
