SECURITY NOTES:

To avoid having the user download and install AutoIT, the game folder includes all dependencies needed to run the game, and uses a batch file to run the source code directly through the official, digitally-signed included AutoIT3_x64 executable. That said, the official executable still picks up one false positive on nearly all scanners. If you have any doubts, look through the source code and replace the AutoIT3_x64.exe with a copy obtained through the official AutoIT website, found in the Self Extracting Archive. https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/. It's the same exact thing.
