Creating a portable program

I ran it in debug mode throughout creation, then ran it in release mode. It ran fine either way. Just can''t figure out how to get the complete thing to workout side of Visual C++.

How are you including the images in the game? In a resource file?

If your images are compiled into the program, then I don;t know. If you are loading your images into the program from external files, don''t forget to copy those files as well.

I doubt you did anything to have your images put in your executable, unless you had they as resources; I suspect that they''re all external. The problem might be, then, that your program can''t find the images when it tries to load them. VC++, by default, will set up the working directory as the directory where your project is, and your executable will most likely be in the Release or Debug subdirectory. Of course, neither of those directories are the same as where you probably have your images. Hopefully, you''re not using absolute paths for loading your images, because that certainly wouldn''t work, either.

The images themselves are included as resources and are in the same directory as the code. They are included into the file individually so no other path is needed cor the compiler to locate them.

Well, I can''t figure it out at all. Thank you for the replies. I''ll keep working on it.
