+ * 
+ * The ResourceManager ensures that assets are loaded once and can be accessed
+ * across different scenes. It caches assets to avoid reloading them every time
+ * a scene is loaded. Assets are retained in memory until the ResourceManager is
+ * destroyed, at which point the cached assets are cleared.
