[Dev-C++] New to the list, and a quick question

[Philip B. <phi...@pb...>]

Hello everyone.

My name is Philip Bennefall, I am an audio producer and game programmer =
from Sweden. I am just getting into C++, before now I've been working =
with high level languages. But lately I've started to feel that they =
simply are not good enough for my needs, they limit me too much in what =
I can do. I'm a complete beginner at the actual C++ language, although I =
know programming well. My first question is, in Dev C++, is it possible =
to pack for example a sound file into your executable and then access it =
directly from memory inside of the application? That is, without ever =
extracting it on to the users harddrive. That way, noone will be able to =
see the file unless they know how to disassemble executables which is =
certainly beyond me. Basically I just want to put the file in the =
executable together with my code and be able to access it directly with =
a memory address or perhaps a buffer pointer.

If anyone can answer this, I'd be very glad.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Philip Bennefall
