Images inside Blitz Code

Yeah, except you should save them as binary data as that makes them faster to work with.
And you should save them as COMPRESSED binary data. To that end, here's a variation of LZ compression that I managed to get ChatGPT to wrangle from C++ into a Bli*snip*

Could you just save strings of data as a filestream and load it as a image or other data file?

Yeah, but I think that's one of those ''If you're already using C++, why not just keep on using C++'' things.
I think I'd probably just stick to C++, myself. But then, I also had a half-assed C++ engine up and running back in 2018, so*snip*

If this is about Blitz3D, it’s open source now so you can make it do whatever the hell you want! :D
Here is a version that’ll actually build using a modern version VS rather than the ancient VS 6.0 (man, I remember getting that for Christmas*snip*

Of course, if you were using BlitzMax, it'd be as easy as IncBin, but I've searched the B3D help file, and there's nothing of the sort in there, I'm afraid.

My first attempt failed, I copied the data directly from a bmp file and manually drew it. Weirdly *some* of the colours were wrong, but most were correct. Odd that.

Convert pixels to data, then convert them back again? It'd be slow, plotting all those points, though.
Alternatively, convert the file's data to a stream of some sort, then undo that, save the data to the disk, load the image. That'd be quic*snip*

What I really need to do is find a decent DVD ripper on Mac that'll rip the DVDs with commentaries as alt audio tracks.
I used to have one, but that was about a decade ago, and .. well, Mac's not great at running old stuff!
If I rip everything, *snip*

Maybe if you can manage to make a list and check the prices on ebay? I might give away my old dvd's to a 2nd hand shop. For the old game magazines I have the space.

A year later, and those big brown bookcases really darkened the room in that corner.
The drawers were basically inaccessible, due to EPIC DRAWER FAIL, even though the units were less than a decade old.
