After a lot of time finding excuses not to work on my main projects, this one got to a point where I can no longer waste time on it. I can't think of anything I'd want to add to it as of now, and now I have no other option but to go back to the code SpaceRock Miners... That probably means it is complete! Well, kind of amateurish, but that's exactly what I am, don't judge me. I am simply adding the files to my projects and they are compiled alongside with my code. It is still missing a decent build mechanism, but this has been postponed indefinitely.
And linux heard: you shall not link this dynamically!
Download
Clone it from GitHub.Download the PDF Documentation (two classes, small stuff).
What about it?
For a comprehensive list of goodies:- MIT License (Yes!).
- Allows you to load SDL_Texture, Mix_Music and Mix_Chunk from files
- Users can push manually hand-loaded assets into the vault and let it care about freeing it later.
- Configurable expiration time, so it will wait until an asset is unused for too long before freeing it; this is to prevent unnecessary freeing and reloading of assets.
- Automatic asset loading. If you call a Get function, it automatically load it if it is not already cached.
- Manual or Timed Automatic freeing of unused assets. You call FreeUnused() function manually or set up a periodic, automatic, cleanup.
- Strong and Weak references. You can ask for a shared_ptr or for a classic pointer, just make sure you know what you're doing when using plain pointers.
- No Singletons.
- Doxygen!
- Depends on C++11, remember to set the standard for it (-std=c++11) .
- No SDL initialization. You should to initialize SDL yourself; at least Video, Audio and Timer.
- std::shared_ptr based. It kind of forces you to use shared_ptr (you can still code a wrapper though).
Over and Out.
