My question if about resource management. Is it a good idea to store resources like Sounds in an array and then make a second array(lets call this SoundCollections) as a sort of reference table(name + index of sounds array).

The SoundCollection structure looks like this:

struct SoundCollection{
    unsigned char name[64];
    unsigned int offset;
    unsigned int count; 
};

GameObjects can aqcuire a SoundCollectionHandle and use the SoundCollection[SoundCollectionHandle].Offset in the Sounds array. GameObjects then can call Audio.playsound(Sounds[SoundCollection[SoundCollectionHandle].offset + PlayerSounds::Jump]) for playing a jump sound. The SoundCollection::count is used as offset for next SoundCollection and bound checking. The same thing i want to use for Sprites and Textures.

Are there any other methods you usealy use in your games?

Are there any other methods you usually use in your games?
