Decompressing zip / gzip files

Post by Clavus »

I'm compressing some of my game content to greatly reduce the size of my project (in .zip or .gz files). However, I'm wondering how I can decompress it during runtime. Can you guys recommend a method? Preferably with as few dependencies as possible.

.love files are already compressed in a zip format. The decompression is done transparently.

Putting a zip file inside a .love file will not make it any smaller (in fact, it will make it slightly larger).
When I write def I mean function.
