RE: [GD-Windows] Masking strings in an executable

[Daniel V. <vo...@ep...>]

We don't mask strings but use a macro so we can abstract UNICODE support
(not supported on some consoles) which makes the code more portable. You
could simply scramble the text in the macro and unscramble it in your output
function.

e.g.

myprintf( SCRAMBLE("Hello World") );
