Provides a class called bigfile_t that acts as a game data archive from which you can load game data by the use of fileid_t.
You can have many bigfiles on disk, and you can load their TOC (table of contents) into memory and then load data from the bigfile.
A bigfile has an index as an identifier and a fileid_t is a 64-bit identifier that maps to a bigfile and a file in that bigfile.
You can imagine that you have compiled many resources, like textures, models, materials, shaders, sounds, etc. into a bigfile and you can
load them into memory and use them in your game.
A typed data (immutable) structure that starts at a root object_t* and that can contain many types of data.
This data can be generated using https://github.com/jurgen-kluft/BuildSystem.Core.
- bool, s8, u8, s16, u16, s32, u32, s64, u64, f32
- vec2f, vec3f, vec4f
- fileid_t
- locstr_t
- string_t
- color_t
object_t*void*(serialized compound, should match C++ structure layout)array<T>(any of the above types)
