SDL Development

Hi dudes, my name is Leandro and this is my first msg to the list :smiley:
(sorry my poor english hehe)

Well, if i generate a final release of SDL game, i need attach all resources
files in original format (.png, .ogg, .txt, etc), right?
Exists some method to create a .dat file (binary) for hide the original file
?

See ya,

No, you don’t, unless your game needs them to run.

Yep, Sam, the game will need them to run… then, all original images can be
modified for an user :frowning:
