it is constantly being enhanced to provide things the programmers are wanting
currently it allows the programmers to make sure only codexians use their programs
it collects data the programmer has setup on the codex website - so a program can accept dynamic data, and the programmer can update this data centrally and have it distrabuted automatically
it allows the programmers to send user specific data, so you can set-up different permissions based on your codexian rank (or by userID if you wish)
it will pass a userdefined Live Version field from codex, so you can implement version checking with ease in your programs, and request users update if you want them to
There are many reasons we insist that the codex check is included in all programs here but the most important is:
if a program is found to be infected with maleware, or if for some reason we feel it would be dangerous for a program to be used (like if neopets would insti-freeze you) we have the ability to instantly stop it being started.
another one is to proove that you have compiled the program, there are some forums that allow people to post programs people have 'found' we insist here that it's your own work you are submitting

Yeppers, it has amazing things like disabling the program for sure, logs, to see who all is using it, and how they are using, make sure they are not abusing it, among my fvaorite lol then the programming functions like extra security to prevent it from being defaced, to crazy functions you can use in the program, and super dynamic vars, you'll see what I mean when you start using the checks (you can update vars via your program page on codex live )The codex check is a tool to help the programmers here
shabba makes good points. Doing no checks would let them thrive, and get your program methods disabled. I love the codex checks as well for the amazing features it offers. Once you start using them you'll love itWhy would we want it to be completely public. Why let leechers thrive?
I like the codex check. Im sure you will come around to them.
The first time adding it to your program may take 5 minutes but after that, with your first setup as an example, literally just 2 seconds.
Try it out We used to let people slide but we stopped that long ago as it was very stupid of us.

It's mandatory to have checks on every program here (for security as well as tracking purposes), and we have no intention of changing that bylaw. It doesn't take very long to add the checks.
I knew it! The government is keeping tabs on us all.... RUN FOR YOUR LIVESSSSSSSS

All I need is the code for the check.

You still aretsk tsk... always with the leecher banging... a "leecher" is just a member with potential. Sure some might dl programs and leave, but a bunch will stick arround. Those guys become active and helpful. I was once a "leecher"

The readme is in rich text format, you will have to use word, word pad or an editor that supports rtf. I did not like the checks at first, thought it was a waste of time but using the features to disable the program if you no longer want it to be usable and being able to update instantly are great features and are why I decided to use them.Or you should be able to open it up in any text editor I believe?

I may just quit programming anyway.
Its not really benefitting me and everytime I start a project someone ends up making it and does it better than I ever could.

Well true, we would like to prevent the programs from getting abused and disabled. You can still be on codex and make few posts and use the programs, so I guess you can still be a leech, I don't like calling people that but there are some here, I don't know any of them as they all just made like 2 posts to get to the programs, hopefully we can see some of them coming out of their shelltsk tsk... always with the leecher banging... a "leecher" is just a member with potential. Sure some might dl programs and leave, but a bunch will stick arround. Those guys become active and helpful. I was once a "leecher"
But important thing is not to get them abused and disabled, that way our active and contributing members dont' get to enjoy the program as it was disabled due them << this is a real pisser lol
