sandwich.lua

sandwich is a resource manager made with LÖVE. It prevents you from loading the same resource multiple times during your program execution. It supports the "basic" LÖVE resource types (such as images, quads, fonts, audio streams), and you can add your own types easily.

Quickstart

local sandwich = require 'sandwich'

my_image = sandwich.get('image', 'my_image.png')
my_quad = sandwich.get('quad', 'my_quad', 0,0, 32,32, 64,64)

Add resource types

You can add you own resource types. Here's an example with bump.lua worlds:

local bump = require 'lib.bump'
local sandwich = require 'lib.sandwich'

-- function that makes a resource
local callback_bumpworld = function (resource_name, ...)
	return bump.newWorld(...)
end
sandwich.addType('bumpworld', callback_bumpworld)

my_world = sandwich.get('bumpworld', 'my_world', 32) -- creating a world
