Resource Reloading
You are able to support swapping sets of assets at runtime effortlessly. This could be used for swapping between low/high resolution assets, or switching themes. Let's work through an example of switching between high and low resolution assets.
Setting up a new project
To help you work through this tutorial, first create a new blank project using the init script.
The assets
Download these two sprite textures and save them to a data/texture/lowres folder in your project.

Setting up resources
Edit the config file and replace the Resource section with:
[Resource] Texture = @ResourceLowRes Sound = @ResourceLowRes [ResourceHighRes] Texture = ../data/texture/highres Sound = ../data/sound/highres [ResourceLowRes] Texture = ../data/texture/lowres Sound = ../data/sound/lowres
This sets the texture and sound resources as a default to the lowres paths. Notice that sound is also defined, but we won't be covering sound in the tutorial.
