Hello everyone.
=20
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.
