Is it possible to extract source code from nexe build? I want to use it in production so that shouldn't happen. PKG doesn't reveal the code as it converts into binary, but PKG fails making build of my project.

You got a real good format going on here with valuable bite-size useful tutorials. I have subscribed and wish you all the success for the future. Keep creating great little gems and nuggets of tuts.
My only suggestion and request to be more beneficial is if you increase your font-size a little more when your filming so users could follow along with easier. Thank you.

Why making a .exe if you still run it from the terminal the point of a .exe is that you dont have to do that

Hi, after 2years of uploading I've found this useful video. The only issue I have is after declaring all my resources, the exe doesn't work outside the folder.

It tells me I must use the build flag (--build)
How do I use this

Thank you!
