No source code ?

DON a GPL engine?
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

I had the source code he published, but I can't check it anymore since I deleted it and emptied the trash. Let's see, there are supposed to be tools that can still find it.

Yes, that's what happens when you poke around in an unfamiliar program; I discovered several more oddities and therefore removed all the don´s from my PC.
Why are you looking source code?

Moderation has told @erashid to release the source code in next of his posts on which he agreed.
