Re: [Bontz-team] graphic files

[Chuck]

give me some time to look at pulling everything from a single file...
ultimately that will probably be easiest to manage for saving memory if
everything were in a single file.  as for configuring/customizing, it
probably won't be as nice.

i know it can be done, i just don't know how to do it with SDL yet.
