Avoiding constant IF checks for loops I'm confused, it seems the obvious answer is that he should use a state machine. |

How to pack the game files into one without using any file compressor? You can simply use a standard zip library such as dotnetzip.codeplex.com to combine everything. It also support fetching individual files out of the archive. Note that zip is not a compressed file format. |

But as mentioned it takes a book to describe the topic adequately so I recommend amazon.com/Programming-Game-Example-Mat-Buckland/dp/1556220782/…. |
