Hiding files

I am almost finished with my game. When I create an exacutionable, the exe still need the images to run. I dont want that, or I want the images hidden so someone can't read them, only the game, so any ideas?

Look into "MoleBox" it can put everything into one big .exe

Thanks I'll check it out.

I looked at it, it is too much money do you n=know of any free ones?

You can try Data Archiver

Just a thought, but have you tried "iexpress" in Windows XP. It lets you compile a self-extracting archive that can contain your Blitz EXE and resources, which silently extract automatically into the user's temp files when double-clicked and starts the EXE automatically so the user won't know any different.

Click Start, Run, type "iexpress" and click OK. Then follow the instructions.

I placed this code in archive a while back, kind of a lot to work through. Can download the program from my website, follow link. It created a data file of any image, these could then be loaded as a list of data statements in your program. have your program make the images from these. Not sure I'd try it if there a re a lot though.:)
