big executable, no bmp's
Check this out.
The zip is about 930 kb, when unzipped there arent any BMP's or something where tiles or sprites any graph can be stored in..
How do they actually draw all the stuff?
I cant imagine that they are simply putting every object/character in an array on startup of the game..and blit em to screen later on..
I'm just curious.
Thx in advance,

Ahh, so THAT'S how they do it. I've always wondered about that...Originally posted by MrWizard

Well, there are a few things wrong with your code:
1) It does not work.
2) It does not work.
3) It does not work.
Hope this helps.
So in fact there are bitmaps etc but they are just merged into one exe, using some program.
well for example in C# you can include all the resources such as images, sound, video etc and include it in the EXE itself.. The program automatically maps it internally...
Can't you do that anyways in C++ (and probably C) by using resource files and stuff?
Just Google It. √
