Class ResourceHandle<T extends Resource>

java.lang.Object
  com.triangularpixels.rebirth.resources.ResourceHandle<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the Resource subtype of this handle.

public class ResourceHandle<T extends Resource>
extends Object

A handle to a specific Resource object. Game code should hold onto handles rather than references to resources directly, calling get() to retrieve the underlying resource object just before each use. Since the resource system may reparse and update resources on the fly, the object returned from get() should only be considered valid for the rest of the frame.
