v1.0

A very simple and straightforward package manager for games, written in C. Use SimplyPack.exe or compile simplypack.cpp to use the packer.
SimplyPack.exe takes 3 arguments:
1 - The path to the folder from which to pack files, relative to the location of the exe
2 - The path to the output file, relative to the location of the exe
3 - 1 or 0 to display detailed output of what was packed (optional)
The packer is pretty simple, and will pack everything inside the folder you specify.
reserving a header at the beginning that contains the following information consecutively:
- The number of files packed
- An array of structs of the type
SP_fileinfowhich contain:
- original file name
- original file size
- packed file location (relative to the beginning of the pack file)
To use the unpacker make sure you first call SP_OpenPack with the path to the
pack file. This call copies the pack into memory.
SP_GetData gets you a pointer to the data stored in memory, you should use
this pointer to read the data, make sure you copy it.
SP_ClosePack frees the memory used by the pack.
The algorithm doesn't hash but instead matches file names. This tool intended for smaller projects.
Dependencies: tinydir.h, included in the project, please read the copyright information for that in the file. Licensing info at the bottom.
