Add error message (exception?) when textures and sprite fonts are missing #72

Closed vchelaru closed 9 years ago

vchelaru commented 9 years ago

When creating a CCSprite users can make lots of mistakes. If a CCSprite doesn't appear new users won't know why. Is it off screen? Is it transparent? Was it not added to a Layer? Is the texture format wrong? Is the texture missing?

If we can communicate when it is a missing texture this will help solve a lot of problems.

This is especially important with SpriteFonts which have an even more obscure method of working. You have to reference them by font family/size rather than the actual xnb, and the files have to be in a particular folder. This has very low discoverability and exceptions would go a long way to help users out here.

Oh, I'm also aware this is a Release vs. Debug issue, so maybe this is solved by distributing both builds?
