Hi Philip, I agree. A lot comes down to trust. I can't help but feel like this entire situation has been blown way out of proportion. If someone is that concerned a BGT script or a game written in BGT will blow up their registry don't install it. Its that simple.
As for the issue of 100 values I'd personally limit it to 50. Anything more than 50 values for any kind of program is overkill, and should be serialized and written to a file. That's the one thing I do agree with Willem on that we should restrict the amount of values a BGT game developer could potentially use by sticking to recommended standards. Using 200 KB of space just seems like overkill to me and 100 KB is plenty. Cheers! On 11/21/11, Philip Bennefall <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Willem, > > I have now added this limitation.
