Disable editing for a shared game

Is there a way to disable editing your project when you share it through a link or host it as a multiplayer game?

I don’t think so.
Maybe try to make a game so large that opening up the code crashes it maybe.

chimbrodapro did that once in the makecode forums series, but idk how

This is not possible. As makecode is a learning service, blocking someones code from anyone who wants to see how it works would be against that goal.

You might be able to try using the GitHub integration and creating a release such that it creates a website with the game to link to (ex. my last game bocce, its in the github repo https://github.com/UnsignedArduino/Bocce and it’s at the website https://unsignedarduino.github.io/Bocce/), and then having a paid GitHub plan (i believe GitHub student dev pack getting you github pro works) to make your repository private but keep GitHub Pages active. The GH integration works by compiling your game down to a large binary.js file so it could still be reverse engineered but harder. Having the GH repo private though will prevent any random person from just downloading ur repo and openign in the MakeCode Arcade editor
