Simple-Asset-Packer

Simple cross platform asset packer for use with games & standalone applications

The benefit of packing assets with this library vs resource files or binary blobs is still maintaining a virtual filesystem and cross platform compatibility.

C++ Usage

Loading an asset image from a file:

#include "AssetPacker.h"
...
AssetPacker::fileImageMap_t files;
AssetPacker::loadImage("myImage.bin", files);
for (auto& i : files)
{
	  std::cout << i.second.path << " (" << i.second.size << " bytes)" << std::endl;
}

Create an asset image:

#include "AssetPacker.h"
...
AssetPacker::pathList_t files; // an std::vector of file paths
AssetPacker::makeImage("image.bin", files);

Find an image embedded in a file:

#include "AssetPacker.h"
...
AssetPacker::fileImageMap_t files;
if (AssetPacker::findImageInFile("myEmbeddedImage.exe", files))
{
	for (auto& i : files)
	{
		std::cout << i.second.path << " (" << second.size << " bytes)" << std::endl;
	}
	exit(0);
}
else
{
	std::cout << "Could not find image in file" << std::endl;
	exit(0);
}
