So i'm trying to get back to work on Bomb Squad, but I keep fighting this level editor. It looks awesome, it's going to be terribly useful, but getting it designed right is a bastard.
The problem i'm looking at right now is that every level it creates needs TWO files. One is an array dump, the array just dumps its collection of integers to a .arr file. Unforunetly, I also need level settings and configurations. Which means at the least, an .ini file.
I don't really like the idea of two files floating around though. Is there some way I can pack them together into one? I really, REALLY don't want to try dumping the array to the INI. Stuffing the INI into the array isn't possible because of the integers (I need to save strings for the config). So obviously, were talking about a third format.
I looked at the zip object. It looks pretty good, but it doesn't seem to EXTRACT from archives - Something I thought was really weird. It can set a password, it can archive files. It just doesn't seem to extract them for some reason. It can delete them too. Weird.
What other ways could I do this?
