Another great site for general game programming questions of any kind is
::drum roll:: gameprogrammer.com

 

Several people from this list are there as well (:

First, the SDL list is not the place to ask such questions since they are
off topic. (not trying to be harsh, just pointing out.).
Second, this is probably what you are looking for:
http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/pak/

I would suggest looking through gamedev.net for other game developmen
related questions.  Although there are a lot of new guys over there, the
vets are pretty knowledgable.

Hi,

in a game i need several PNG- and WAV-files.

I'd like to pack these data together in one single file
that i can load from the game.  That file should contain
the configurable "skin" of the game. 

- I don't want to unzip the skinfile to create an
  inbetween file on disk and then load that file, i
  want the data directly from the skinfile.

- The skinfile should be small.

- It would be great if i could use SDL_Perl to create the skinfile. 


Does anybody know how to pack the data best?

Is something like this available from some other project?


Best regards,
Torsten.
