What's the "best" way to do this? I want something I can simply

Simply json an array and save and load it, or is there a better
way?
Ideally, I'd like to store the settings as part of the binary
to keep everything together but that poses a few issues I think.
I think you're better off with a simple file in a format like
JSON or INI yeah. Simpler is better.
I don't see any easy way to save the configuration in the binary
and would find it more troublesome than anything as an user as
having the configuration appart means I can easily compare it
between computers and track its changes etc.
I don't think you need to worry about performances, after all
it's only loaded once and the config would have to be *really*
big for it to have a noticable loading time.
