Creating an asset manager for your JavaScript games - dynamically load assets at runtime

Let's investigate how we can manage our assets at runtime rather than using the DOM. We'll first see what the browser offers us to help with this and then build an asset store before putting it through its paces in a real game example.

thank you so much for sharing these cool knowledge, helped me a lot, because I was loading the assets every time I create a new object, and now, I can reuse the same one :D

Cool! Seeing the dungeon assets make me look forward to your future series about either a RPG/Roguelike/Tower Defense game! Or maybe all :D

First, I really like these tutorial videos. It got me thinking that you could probably expand on the asset manager to store the data in the indexedDB or serialised localStorage for offline gameplay.
