Asset Manager

Loading the same texture or shader multiple times wastes both memory and loading time — the Asset Manager caches resources automatically. Internally, resources are stored using std::shared_ptr, allowing safe sharing across multiple engine systems.

Supported asset types: Texture, Font, Shader.

Loading textures

auto texture = AssetManager::LoadTexture(
    "player",
    "assets/player.png"
);

With an explicit filter:

auto texture = AssetManager::LoadTexture(
    "player",
    "assets/player.png",
    TextureFilter::Linear
);

Available filters: TextureFilter::Nearest, TextureFilter::Linear.

Getting cached assets

auto texture = AssetManager::GetTexture("player");

Unloading

AssetManager::UnloadTexture("player");

Fonts

auto font = AssetManager::LoadFont("main", "assets/font.ttf", 32.0f);
auto font2 = AssetManager::GetFont("main");
AssetManager::UnloadFont("main");

Shaders

auto shader = AssetManager::LoadShader(
    "default",
    "assets/default.vert",
    "assets/default.frag"
);

auto s = AssetManager::GetShader("default");
AssetManager::UnloadShader("default");

Checking existence

if (AssetManager::Exists("player"))
{
}
