I have one dll that will contain resource images ...
now i dont know did i made it in right way and how do i use it.
I made dll with dll wizard and include .rc file which contain something like
...
BACKGROUND BITMAP BCK.BMP
SNAKE BITMAP SNAKE.BMP
...
I tried two way of using them but with no luck ...
first way is simple:
SnakeImage = new Graphics::TBitmap ();
SnakeImage->LoadFromResourceName((int)HInstance, "SNAKE");

other way is
(HBITMAP)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), "SNAKE", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0,
LR_CREATEDIBSECTION);

Second way would be better couse i need HBITMAP result

I'm working on game ... and i'm not sure what should i use as main game loop
... do i need to make my own message handling loop or can i use OnIdle
(which i saw in some tutorial), Timer is not very useful.
