Hi all, is incbin used for including media into your exe ?

I have seen it being used in some code like

pseudo code below

Incbin "whatever.bmp"

then load("incbin::whatever.bmp")

Can someone explain this to me ?

Thanks guys

when you compile the program, the media file will automatically be included in your .EXE file:

This way you end up with a single .EXE, without the need to distribute any external media with your program.
Other than the mention of 'incbin', everything works exactly the same as using normal external files.
