Messenger.Resources.Base

Resource

There are many assets (images) in our game, so it's important to manage them.

In elm-canvas, we have to preload all the images before the game starts.

The game will only start when all resources are loaded.

If some asset is not found, the game will panic and throw an error (alert).

After the resources are loaded, we can get those data from globaldata.sprites.

saveSprite : Dict String Texture -> String -> Texture -> Dict String Texture

Save the sprite.

igetSprite : String -> Dict String Texture -> Maybe Texture

Get the texture by name.

= TextureRes String (Maybe TextureOptions)

type alias ResourceDefs =

List ( String, ResourceDef )

A list of resource definitions.

resourceNum : ResourceDefs -> Int
