I want the distribution to be a single executable program instead of all the folders.
It's just a bit easier to keep track of that way, and I don't have to keep explaining to my friends how to open the game.
Is there a way to make the distribution a single .exe file?

Um, a Windows user only has to run the executable that's in the base folder when the distribution build .zip is extracted?

I know it's not a big deal, but it'd be convenient if the distribution was just one program.

Your best bet is to use a tool like nsis or innosetup to create an installer. They can run the installer to install the game, and then they'll be able to run it from the start menu like any other program.
