Encrypting assets

25th September 2009

I've found some packers via the Blitz Basic website.
Has anyone used Blitz Media-Linker V1.9?

Apparantly it Creates Stand-Alone-Executables (Single Executables) of your own Blitz-Programs with all the assets, this would be really useful. *snip*

My game has an assets folder, in which there are images, sound, etc.

Blitz Arrays with Strings

Its okay now, I've decided to just keep them as fixed variables.

Blitz Arrays with Strings

20th August 2009

Oh, I was hoping that I could use strings, so I could have fields within an array, sorta making it a bit easier to reference things later on.
I will use your idea of constants to reference the array index.

Creating rating stars as 1 image

20th August 2009

Hi there.
Do you mean, you have:
1 image that holds all images and then use the frame to show the right amount?
Or do you mean:
1 temporary image that holds all images and you display parts of it?
Sorry if I sound a bit confused.
