Load from Resource code

SDL Development

Hi All,
Does anyone have some code that would allow loading of WAVs or
Bitmaps from a Windows executable ( the actual game exe ).

Thanks,

SDL_RWops *res_handle = SDL_RWFromMem( ptr_to_resource, size );

SDL_Surface *bitmap = SDL_LoadBMP_RW( res_handle, 1 );

or

SDL_AudioSpec *chunk = SDL_LoadWAV_RW( res_handle, 1, … );

For some reason these were never documented, talk about lazy…On Tue, Apr 02, 2002 at 01:41:07AM +0100, Dominique Louis wrote:

Hi Martin,
Thanks for your the heads up. I will investigate further and try ad
track down that RWops tutorial and forward it onto the JEDI-SDL mailing
list for the FAQ.

I believe Borland has also implemented “embeded resources” under Linux
for the Kylix and the soon to be released C++ Builder compiler for
Linux, so the above code should be cross-platform as well.

Thanks again,
