Production Code with Ruby

ruby-talk
1

Hi,

I really like ruby it is simple and much like Smalltalk and Perl that I like.
But how can I create some production code ?

Can I Obfuscated the code ?
I will need to protect my code, if I create an application and selling it.

Regards

You might try this:

07:49:14 [temp]: cat obfuscate.rb

ARGF.each do |line|
unless /^=begin/ =~ line … /^=end/ =~ line
line.chomp!
line.gsub! /\s*#[^'"]$/, ‘’
print( line, “;” ) unless /^\s$/ =~ line
end
end

print “\n”
07:49:16 [temp]:

Use

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?DistributeARubyAppInASingleExecutable

and after this (the code is still readable with an hex editor in the
executable) you must encode the executable, for example with

http://www.siliconrealms.com/armadillo.shtml

which also deals with user key codes.

You may solve the problem socially instead of technically: make sure
the users know the license, and stipulate non-redistribution.
