i have a .pde file and i opened it with arduino, unfortunately it has many error, hence i opened it with notepad++
all i got is these characters, im trying to edit and compile but i cant read it, can anyone help? is this some kind of encryption or im using the wrong software 
it is on ANSI , so do i need to change anything , pls let me know step by step as im still new , this actually belongs to a game and i wanted to modify to make my own stuffs, just for myself , thanks alot
Where did you get it?
Looks like the encoding is er not being recognised.

That is not a pde (text) file.

ya , so do u know how to identify it ? i got it inside a game , the size is abt 400+mb

actually it really is , but the size is very big 400+mb , maybe the game encrypted it ...
so what file this thing actually is if its not pde, and do you guys know a forum for me to better understand all these , thanks 
Are you hoping to compile a 400 Mb program on your Arduino?

What game?
EriX888:
... it is on ANSI ...
an online game
so , any suggestion ? how to decrypt this ?
It's likely not encrypted at all. You are better off asking on a hax0r website how to cheat at the game you are playing. It is entirely irrelevant to Arduino.

Not good enough. Answer the question.

And my question.
I think you are in the wrong place. Try Googling "PowerDesk Pro".
I want an Arduino that can load a 400MiB .pde file!
They could be comments - doesn't have to be all source ]
If I load a binary file into notepad it does not look much like that.
The file appears to be in a pictographic language. Those often use unicode or UTF-8 encoding (not ANSI), perhaps you can try switching the encoding from ANSI. Also maybe you could cut and paste one of the longer sections of what appear to be manreadable text into an online translation system and see if you get any meaningful translation.
AWOL:

Only if the author has severe OCD (or CDO as I think it should be called - all the letters is proper alphabetic order like they should be ] )
CDO as I think it should be called - all the letters is proper alphabetic order like they should be
What is CDO and what do you mean the letters ar ein alphabetic order.
