In this episode of my engine devlog series, I implement the scaling and translate gizmo, and add an asset management system. The asset management system works based off of simple hashmaps determining which assets are required for which scenes, that way the necessary assets can be loaded for each scene. The gizmo system I made is very simple at the moment, and just defines a few Gizmo objects that are drawn with specific sprites. Then, when the user's mouse hovers over the gizmo, it applies a tint to the sprite to indicate the hover. I plan on continuing to add to these systems, and refactor them a bit to make a solid foundation.
