That's a false positive, for more info go here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pygame/comments/oepnd4/why_does_everything_think_my_gam...

I'm not an expert on why this happens, but it's a well-known issue with PyInstaller, the Python module I converted the script to an .exe file with. I didn't create the module (nor did I make the Reddit post, just using it for reference), and I'm not willing to send my game to every single antivirus company just so it doesn't get detected by like 3 people's antiviruses. I'm not a famous developer, so I don't have much of a reason to do that. Sorry I didn't want to waste my time trying to get it cleared up by 400 antivirus companies, I guess. If you're still suspicious of this game, I understand your reasoning; you can't trust everyone on the internet, so it's no big deal. I would never hide malicious code; if you want to see the source code (which is a massive plate of spaghetti in terms of readability) then just ask for it.

I'm not running third party anti-virus software, this is Windows' built-in anti-virus protection, which everyone has (or should have). I'm not suspicious of the game, I'm telling you what's happening. It's going to prevent people from playing your game.

I'm well aware of this, but thank you for your insight anyways.
