I went back my TicTacTo codes in C++ which has written 2 years ago.And then I realized to use SDL on it. The program is finished with the help of the SDL tutorial, loading bitmaps, manipulating bitmaps, and etc. It is working properly and it is nice. Then I extend it, I had able to make it 6x6 rows and column but the winning still 3 combinations, until the problems arises. I had able to tract the scores of both players but the problem is I really don't know how to output text to my SDL surface, where I can display the real time scores.

Questions:

1. Is is possible in SDL to output text to the SDL screen or surface? How?

2. So far, all the bitmaps are stored in separate folder, everytime the program runs, it will load. My question is, Is it possible that this will be included during compilation without worrying that these bitmaps can be deleted by a player,? and if this is accendentally deleted the programl fails.

I ask this because, I have seen a Chess Program from GNU, although I didn't see the source codes, but it is only a single executable. For sure this is not SDL right, because, it doesn't use SDL.dll to run.

Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you.
