For many reasons, some of which are of an obvious legal nature, the source can't be made public, I'm sorry. I am an open-source advocate myself, and largely use open-source software for much of my creative work, but this project in particular must remain closed source. GitHub is simply a convenient archive for uploaded builds and issue tracking.
Some supporting features for the game are open-source, however! The SMA Launcher's source code is packaged with every new build in the releases page, and I would like to make more components of the game open-ended with time!
We are no longer accepting accuracy-related reports, especially now that Shang Mu Architect is a mix of Freedom Planet 1 and 2's gameplay, with some of its own intentional (and unintentional) improvements to FP's gameplay (Such as making FP1 speedrun tech easier to execute)
For some reason, only contributors on a GitHub page can label posts, so don't worry about which bug classes your reports fit into! I or another contributor can label them appropriately for you. Just give us the details of the report, and we'll determine its severity/priority!
Yes, you can! Simply make an open issue about your suggestion, and then, I will determine whether or not I might work on it for future updates of the game. If I accept it, the post will be tagged "Feature Suggestion", then the ticket is closed as the suggestion is added to this list:

Please check this to avoid duplicate requests, and perhaps feel validated in that you weren't the first to ask for certain features! The latter may likely mean that the suggested feature is already being worked on!
Windows tells me that the "page" is unavailable, or "Your IT Administrator has limited access to some areas of this app", and refuses the launch the fan game
This has been known by our community to trigger because of anti-virus apps, like AVG. You can create an exception for the game's directory from within your anti-virus's control panel, which will allow the fan game to run without these messages appearing.
Click "more" on the prompt, then "run anyway" should appear. This has thus far only happened with installer packages for the game.
This is a known bug with Game Maker Studio 1.4's runner for Game Maker games. Some audio devices or audio setups can cause a delay in games booting up in a more timely manner than 3 to 5 seconds; there is nothing I can do about this on my end, I apologize. On PCs with fewer connected audio devices, (and no hybrid audio systems, such as Intel/RealTek active simultaneously) the game should still load near-instantly, at least.
Contributors! When reporting bugs, please refer to this bugs classification list when tagging your reports:
Class A)
Game crashes
Save/map data corrupts
Asset data loads with corruption
Other catastrophic scenarios that prevent the game from executing more code
Class B)
Game doesn't crash, but softlocks, or the editor becomes unusable during play
Class C)
Collision issues, such as clipping through floors or walls
Graphical user interface problems
Enemies misbehave
Class D)
This bug may be seen as a minor nuisance, such as sound mastering issues
A combat move is imbalanced
Graphical tiles misplaced compared to where they should be
Any cosmetic or technical detail that is lacking attention
When reporting suggestions for the game, or feature wishlists, tag them as "Feature Suggestion". If I consider the suggestion as part of the game's future updates, they will be copied here, and the opened ticket will be tagged as "Closed", to improve the visibility of critical bugs being reported on the issues page.
