Hi.
I have a game and load directly the dat file into memory and then blit from
it using datafile[xxx].dat .
The question is : is it better to load the whole dat file into memory or
create bitmaps and load the data from the dat file into them?
The dat file is compressed, but when you load it, you store it
uncompressed, right?
