Protect images on SDL
Author
How i include images (bmp) on exe using SDL. And how i load the images?
Thanks in advance.
Hmm. I don't realy have an idea. I always put my images in a map where the exe is and then I load them. I don't know how you could put them in a exe or something that cannot be edited. Try google.
If this were a Windows only program these would be resources you can include in your program. You can find more information about using resources in Windows programs on Google and MSDN.
I don't know of a way to do this in Linux however I am sure it is possible.
Unless this is a commercial game (and by the nature of your question I assume it is not), why would you complicate your game by doing this? In most cases it is even considered a feature to allow the end user to modify the graphics especially if there is something they don't like.

I have used SDL_RWops to add/remove images, sounds and other resources into SQLite databases however I didn't think of this until samuraicrow mentioned SDL_RWops. The benefit to this is that the procedure to import and read back is cross platform whereas I do not believe the same could be said for embedding directly into an executable.
Another option along the same lines although I have not used it personally is PhysFS.
