-- Class: Cached

-- This helps you re-use assets in your app instead of creating extraneous

-- copies of them. It also hides Love-related calls so that your code is

-- more portable.

--

-- If you're using a class built into Zoetrope, you do not need to use

-- this class directly. They take care of setting things up for you

-- appropriately. However, if you're rolling your own, you'll want to use

-- this to save memory.

--

-- This class is not meant to be created directly. Instead, call

-- methods on Cached directly, e.g. Cached:sound(), Cached:image(), and so on.

--

-- Extends:

--		<Class>

Cached = Class:extend

{

	-- Property: defaultGlyphs

	-- The default character order of a bitmap font, if none is specified

	-- in a <font> call.

	defaultGlyphs = ' !"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`' ..

					'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~',

	-- private property: library

	-- a table to store already-instantiated assets

	_library = { image = {}, text = {}, sound = {}, font = {}, binds = {}, },

	-- Method: image

	-- Returns a cached image asset.

	--

	-- Arguments:

	--		path - pathname to image file

	--

	-- Returns:

	--		Love image object

	image = function (self, path)

		if STRICT then

			assert(type(path) == 'string', 'path must be a string')

	-- Returns a cached text asset.

	-- Method: sound

	-- Returns a cached sound asset.

	--

	-- Arguments:

	--		path - pathname to sound file

	--		length - either 'short' or 'long'. *It's very important to pass

	--				 the correct option here.* A short sound is loaded entirely

	--				 into memory, while a long one is streamed from disk. If you

	--				 mismatch, you'll either hear a delay in the sound (short sounds

	--				 played from disk) or your app will freeze (long sounds played from

	--				 memory).

	-- 

	-- Returns:

	--		Either a Love SoundData object (for short sounds) or a

	--		Love Decoder object (for long sounds). Either can be used to

	--		create a Love Source object.

	--

	-- See Also:

	--		<playSound>, <sound>

	-- Method: font

	-- Returns a cached font asset.

	--

	-- Arguments:

	-- Can be:

	--		* A single number. This uses Love's default outline font at that point size.

	--		* A single string. This uses a bitmap font given by this pathname, and assumes that

	--		  the characters come in

	--		  <printable ASCII order at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters>.

	--		* A string, then a number. This uses an outline font whose pathname is the first argument,

	--		  at the point size given in the second argument.

	--		* Two strings. The first is treated as a pathname to a bitmap font, the second

	--		  as the character order in the font.

	--

	-- Returns:

	--		Love font object
