Re: [pygame] image conversion in memory

[diliup gabadamudalige <diliupg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am reading up on creating and using zip files and may possibly use it,

What I am trying to do here is to hide the images on disk so that a user of the program will not be able to manipulate or change the images. What other way can you suggest?

Thanks for all the help so far.

Open both files in binary mode, with 'wb' and 'rb' respectively.
Especially if you are on some funny operating system, like Windows.

Have you considered just putting all your images in a zip file, instead
of encoding them in strange ways?
