Create standalone executable?
Create standalone executable?
I'm trying to make the game into a simple exe and media files. It works on my machine, but I wonder it will work on someone else's computer, that doesn't have Irrlicht.
So if you have a moment, try to run my awesome game. Thanks a bunch.

well u could compile irricht into a static lib....

Nice of these folks to not actually try out your app
Works fine for me so you should be alright. dlangdev's comments about the re-distributables is valid, if you used MSVC as your compiler then it may require a little re-distributable install on the user's PC before it will work, if it is necessary when they try to run your app a pop up box will say something like "blah blah doesn't work, reinstalling might help". I think there are ways to setup the MSVC compiler to not require these re-distributables, which may be a more ideal option.
I don't know why Sudi is mentioning static libs... it's basically irrelevant to your question so don't worry about that.
And well done on your game, looks pretty cool! Some suggestions would be to expand on the 'manual' which currently only explains the controls. explain the story, if any, what you're meant to be doing etc. Try and imagine you've never played the game before and have no idea what it's about and what your goal is and then imagine yourself to have an IQ of around 12 and write a small, concise document explaining the game.

Works For Me. Of course, I have the MSVC dev libs installed, so I can't speak to how it will work on Joe User's machine.

Well bc he said simple exe and mediafiles. Most people before him wanted to have the dll in the exe so i thought he means the same.JP wrote: I don't know why Sudi is mentioning static libs... it's basically irrelevant to your question so don't worry about that.

Oh, pay no attention to JP. If you released a PacMan clone, he'd demand a novella detailing the backstory and motivations of the protagonist.

Damned right i would!rogerborg wrote:Oh, pay no attention to JP. If you released a PacMan clone, he'd demand a novella detailing the backstory and motivations of the protagonist.
Though not really.... it's true that at this stage the story isn't particularly important but some details about what you're meant to do would be good as you just start in front of a big board with some red dots on it with no instructions!
