Title: Delete Game.app folder?
Post by: JonVelop on 2015-Oct-11
Hello,
I wanted to ask you can not delete the .app folder in Windows?
Create all the data in an .exe pack? :whistle:

Not sure what  you mean ....

But if mean can you run exe on its own - you can - all media and assets need to in a subfolder however (not within .exe)

You cant do that.

But there exists utility that can compress the game into one exe eventuelly, but that is not something glbasic can do.

There are a number of packers to allow running from a single executable. Programs like Molebox or App Compactor. However they are often given false positives in AV programs due to the way its packed in a virtual environment.

I mean this:
Example: in a APK but so all the data is packaged in the APK That goes with a EXE or there are additional programs?

you dont need external files, all is packaged in the APK for Android in the final package.

On Windows, glbasic does not compress the project to a single exe, you need external packers and they can eventuelly slow down the app.

On Mac, the app is shown as a single icon for the app folder.

So its depend from platform to platform.
