Description

Steam-Layer Interface: Asset Lookup and Organisation.

Declares the AssetManager interface used to access individual Asset instances.

These classes are placed into namespace asset and proc_interface.

Todo:

10/10 meanwhile I'm unhappy with some aspects of this implementation //////////////TICKET #691

12/12 and meanwhile I'm way more unhappy with the whole design. Looks like I wasn't proficient enough with OO design in C++ when writing that original design. Especially, this design couples the object creation, the memory management and the registration way too tightly. Having a registration magic in the asset baseclass ctor is just too clever and a half. Rather, there should be a responsibility chain, using completely passive Asset objects: Factory -> AssetManaager -> Asset object
