Trade secret?

[RMcGovern]

I'm a middle aged guy who used to program in basic. I have some ambition to develop my own sports sim game so I started in player generation. Now i'm stuck on a line and thinking of posting it in Coding Help. Should I consider player generation a trade secret and what precautions should I take when posting it? Keeping in mind that without some assistance there won't be any trade to keep secret. Am I just paranoid?

Also in general, what would you consider a trade secret? And what would be too sensitive to share?

The only thing i wouldnt share are passwords, usernames, and emails that are hard coded into a program. If you are asking a question, most of us prefer a few lines to indicate the problem anyways. There wouldnt be any trade secret in a few lines of code.

If that turns out to not be enough code to fix your problem, then the easiest solution would be to get a runnable example of your problem.

Thanks, at least I'm paranoid.

That's okay. I'm paranoid too.

You can also try to reproduce the problem with some arbitrary code. And post that code.
