Greetings.
I have recently worked VERY HARD on this game that is OUTLANDISHLY too large and unnessecarily complex, but it is my first work that has gotten longer than 10 minutes of play, so I am pleased, you know? Well anyway, I was planning on compiling it into an executable file so that I could give it to my friends. The thing is that I have A LOT of midis and whatnot, so I will also need a installer to make sure all the files get where they need to be, but that won't be a problem.
The problem that I need help with (I know I've asked this before. Curse my procrastination) is loading SBMIDI and SBSIM right before the .exe file runs. I know it can be done, but I forgot how. There was some special way of doing it, I thought.
And then, does the library that you need to run QMIDI in Qbasic have anything to do with the .exe files? Do I need to include a library or something... do something extra when I compile?
I guess that's it. I'd give it to you guys to show it to you but as I said, it is my first work (therefore not up to the 'standards' that I have seen people's work here) but I am proud of it. Also the outlandish size of everything (I am bad at downsizing.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A Severe Error has crippled BB2 for the time being... I have to figure it out, but until then you won't see much of it .
