//The ResourceManager exists to:
//1. Automatically deal with initializing/deinitializing various resources (OpenGL textures, SDL audio)
//2. Allow loading resources embedded into the executable like an actual file.
//   a. Allow embedded resources to be optionally remapped to actual files for further customization.
//3. Keep from creating duplicate resources.

//The ResourceManager returns resources as std::shared_ptrs.
//When the resource no longer has any references, it will be automatically freed.
//If ES launches a game, all resources will have deinit() called on them and SDL will deinitialize.
//Once the game exits and ES returns, resources will have init() called on them.
