Can IWBasic do this? (hiding media files in stand alone programs)

[poceduo]

Hey there, before I actually buy V1.8, I would like to know if there is such thing as a feature where you embed all your media resource file into either an exe or a separate file so the real media files won't be shown or needed or needed when the program runs.

This would be an idea of a person distributing his computer games that does not want his media resource shown and would rather be stored in to either one separate file or an exe.

Hi.

I do that with picture files - add them as a resource when working with projects.

Well I just purchased IWBasic 1.8 (or donated) under a different email address. It does have things that I need (OOP, what you just mentioned, Linked List, etc).

I'm looking forwards to making some games with it (or trying).
First I gotta study the code to see how it could be done.

I apologize for going a little bit off-topic but my question has already been solved.

Anyways, nice work on this tool.

p.s. I do use a lot of other dev tools as well.

You can embed sound files (wav)  as a resource too, but what other kinds of files are you asking about?

Hi!
I am among those who will be looking forward to seeing your games coded with IwBasic.

I have an additional information about your question that i would like to share with others.
