Can you create a custom binary file format?
At this point you should be familiar with the basics of binary file structures, so now is the time to take a look at the process of designing a working custom file format. This file format will be designed to hold a collection of game resources including images and sounds.
What kind of data is in a binary file?
There are a few more primitive data types, such as floating point numbers, but the integer data types listed above are more than adequate for this introduction and for most binary file formats.
Is there a program to extract 3D models?
The program is a great help with the search for vertex data, faces, texture coordinates and normal vectors in an unknown 3D format. The main feature of the program is the support of the scripts in the programming language Python, which allows to extract models from almost any format.
What should be included in a game file format?
This file format will be designed to hold a collection of game resources including images and sounds. The first thing that should be designed is a data structure for the file header so the file can be identified before the remainder of the file is loaded into memory.
