Does PlayCanvas implement any kind of security feature for protecting javascript code?
Not currently. If you download and self host your game, you can run your scripts through whatever obfuscator/minifier you like (such as Google Closure Compiler). If you publish to playcanvas.com though, you cannot do this. I have added a feature request about this. By default, PlayCanvas should really concatenate your scripts and minify/obfuscate them on export.
I think it would be ideal if there was a obfuscator/minifier optional checkbox if for some reason you need access to the code for debugging purposes.
Yeah, I agree. Not everybody will want to obfuscate.
Did this ever get added? It would be a very useful feature to have.
Yep. By default, your published apps now have minified/obfuscated code.
