Yes, but this kind of encryption is hardly secure. You'll notice that the key to decrypt the code is included in the engine. A potential code-stealer has simply to find the key in the engine, apply it to your code, and he's in.

In the end, encryption of applications just isn't possible, because the key must somehow accompany the application. Yet an encrypted application isn't truly encrypted if it contains its own key...
