You can open any file in Cpp with std::ifstream file("example.png", std::ios::bin); std::ios::bin to open in binary mode, because a png is a binary document.

Frank, unity does not support c++ ( I think ) Unreal does use c++

I think you should first make the gameplay (Player Movement, Some Items,Enemies, ...) to test if the game is good. them you can make the menu and leveldesign, Charactermodelling,... .

From my point of view, I think you should start creating the scene (the environement) first. Then, you should create the gameplay: -player -enemy -object interactions Next, you can create more levels (if you want to make a multi-level game). The start menu should be the last one, because is more easier to connect scenes and to add sound and graphics options.

frank I have no idea about that friend. maybe if you open an image file you'll get some code that you've never seen? atleast thats what happened when I opened a .png with notepad xD

In my opinion, you should start making the player move. That's what I would do first. What language are you using, frank?
