Topic: Kongregate / Chat JavaScript Sources

We’re using yuicompressor to deflate the final file. An excellent explanation of why many of the compressed variable names are not obfuscated is given by Yahoo!’s engineers on the YUI site

How does the YUI Compressor work?

The YUI Compressor is written in Java (requires Java >= 1.4) and relies on Rhino to tokenize the source JavaScript file. It starts by analyzing the source JavaScript file to understand how it is structured. It then prints out the token stream, omitting as many white space characters as possible, and replacing all local symbols by a 1 (or 2, or 3) letter symbol wherever such a substitution is appropriate (in the face of evil features such as eval or with, the YUI Compressor takes a defensive approach by not obfuscating any of the scopes containing the evil statement)

I also recommend checking out Project Sprout that makes acquiring the compilation tools and bootstrapping a new project a simpler affair, as well as providing a robust testing framework for your game.

Topic: Kongregate / Does Kongregate block communication with other servers?

I would suggest using a wildcard rule along the lines of:
<allow-access-from domain=“*.kongregate.com” />

Currently games are served from chat.kongregate.com, but this is subject to change in the future.
