I'm using VS 2005. I coded a pacman clone using C++ and GLUT. When I go to the debug folder created by VS 2005 the program crashes. When I compile and run my program from VS it runs perfectly... Is the reason the exe file won't work because of the links to GLUT dlls or something? Anyone know how I can create a working exe file of my program so that I can share it with other people who aren't familiar with compiling code?

Try putting the made program with the folder that contains your textures and sound under the same folder.

I love that adrenaline feeling when I pwn you.....

Also, don't forget to run the Release build instead of the Debug build.
