Detailed Description

Loads and manages the lifespan of objects from external files.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

T* KatanaEngine::ResourceManager::Load	(	const std::string &	path,
		const bool	cache = `true`,
		const bool	appendContentPath = `true`
	)

inline

Load and manage a resource.

Parameters

path	The path to the resource.
cache	Sets whether the resource manager will manage the resource.
appendContentPath	Allows the use of shorter paths when loading assets.

Remarks: Usually a game's content is kept in a single folder which is set by calling SetContentPath. This allows you to use shorter paths when loading assets. Occasionally a resource is outside of this folder and not using the content path is more convenient.

void KatanaEngine::ResourceManager::SetContentPath ( const std::string & path )

inline

Sets the location of the folder where game resources are stored.

Parameters

path	The file path to the content folder.
