question about bitmaps in .exe files

[g3RC4n]

is there a way to make bitmaps(or an imaige file) inside the code so that a .exe file is independent of other files?

for example for a minesweeper clone i made i had to load all the separate bitmap's to display them ,but if i moved the files it wouldn't work of course? what would be the best subsitute?

how would i get around this? just paint them with lines and pixels? because i though this would be really slow although today it probably isn't that bad of an idea but odoesn't seem the logical thing to do.

what about adding the bitmaps to the resource?

Cheers

right i see now

forget this thread i was being retarded, i misunderstood how bitmaps worked when you compile projects, the bitmap is included in the compiled file, i thought you still had to lead them from the computer
