I would like help encrypting an array (too bad there is no md5 or sha1 function )
I don't think there's a way to directly encrypt a normal array. However the S plugin is able to save to encrypted files. It's the only method I'm aware of with Construct and the plug is really worth looking into.

Still works.
Just to avoid confusion:
MD5 is NOT an encryption algorithm. It's a hash.
Very true..I was going to post the same.
You actually can encrypt with SHA-1 or MD5 if you use an HMAC...but it is not straightforward:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC...although I wouldn't recommend using MD5 due to hash collisions.
So in summary.. use S or Python.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
Use hash object instead? I think it looks harder to read in notepad at least.
