I'm also considering releasing some code, and have similar worries...
The real difference is that there is already an (old) copy of my code
which was stolen, and is floating around on the net. Even if I release
my code, it was written when I was still learning C and some of it is
very badly written.
Could I really bring myself to drop such a mud on the mudding community?
No...not normally - but at least it would be far better than the hacked-up
mess floating around at the moment (which some people who have copies of
are even selling, because I refuse to give out the code).
At least if I did, it would be the first (to my knowledge) 'stock' leveless
mud (merc2.1 based), which might at least bring a little variety to the
stock scene.
I did consider deliberately putting in a number of compilation bugs to
put off the totally clueless (ie you would have to make some fixes before
being able to compile and therefore run it), but the trouble is I just KNOW
that someone will fix those bugs and release their own 'version'.
Opinions please?
KaVir.
