Did you do anything around securing the code? I always worried that it would be fairly trivial to reverse engineer any game I tried to charge for and distribute via the web.

I only used Google's Closure Tools for optimizing and obfuscating the code. Should probably add that to the post. Thanks

I thought it was fairly easy to reverse engineer games on almost any platform?
