uint64_t id |

Remarks¶
The png cache is used to load png images from disk in order to make sprites. The png cache
system is an advanced option for people who want lower level access to creating their own
custom sprites, for example by loading sprites from their own custom animation format. If you just
want a really easy way to load sprites, look at cute_sprite.h for the easy sprite API (search for
easy_make_sprite or make_sprite functions).
You will mostly just care about these three functions.
cf_png_cache_load
cf_png_cache_unload
cf_make_png_cache_sprite
It's a cache, which means it actually caches images loaded in RAM, so subsequent calls to cf_png_cache_load won't have to fetch the image off of disk, as long as the image is currently cached in RAM.
