Depends on what you mean by encrypt...encrypting something basically means putting it in a format that only you and the program understand so it's better to come up with your own system so that no one else can understand it.

Re: Encryption

Following AtomicBawm3's definition, it is nearly impossible (I think).  1-way encryption doesn't work because the program needs to decrypt it and any other type (it seems to me) would be easily breakable since the scripts for encoding and decoding the code would be contained within the project.  A possible work around is using hidden sprites.
