Answer 2

the picture can be stuffed as a string, an array, a structure that stores the color of pixels, transparency.
The sound can most likely be stuffed in the same way.
But it's better to just put the resources next to the exe and not worry. Make a sound folder, a picture folder and load them into the program as needed, it's easier than dragging everything into one file.
