ofxAddons
easily reach your various media assets objects from anywhere within your code
README
ofxMediaDB allows you to easily reach your ofTexture, ofSoundPlayer, ofTrueTypeFont or ofxFontStash objects from anywhere within your code - ofxMediaDB uses the "singleton" design patern to centralize all your loaded media objects. Useful on videogame projects and such, where multpile remote objects may share the same resoruces. It has a few Macros defined to simplify access even further.
example on how to handle textures:
//organize your texture ID list as enums for clarity and simplicity enum myTextureIDs{ TEX_MONKEY, TEX_BANANA, etc... }; void setup(){ //load a texture bool didLoad1 = MEDIA_LOAD_TEXTURE("monkey.png", TEX_MONKEY); } ... meanwhile, in some other class ... void draw(){ //easily reach your textures from any file within your project ofTexture * tex = MEDIA_GET_TEXURE(TEX_MONKEY); } same can be done with ofSoundPlayers, ofTrueTypeFont and ofxFontStash
