Asset Hot Reloading

[SpinnerX]

When developing the UI Editor, we need to have some way of loading the assets from the editor's runtime. Still open for discussions.

Quick Examples

These are examples of how I can see the API would look as we look further into our asset system.

// Option #1 - Loading in a texture by supplying it a handler that knows where we want to load this texture from and where.
Ref<Texture2D> texture = AssetManager::Get<Texture2D>(handler);
if(texture.IsLoaded()){
       Render(texture);
}

// Option #2 - having asset also represent our objects textures/shaders, uniforms, and other properties
AssetObject asset = Asset::Load("assets/backpack.obj");

if(asset.IsLoaded()){
     Render(asset);
}
