…n for testbed This commit addresses the hardcoded relative path issue that caused problems when different compilers/IDEs placed executables in different directories. Key Changes: - Added ResourceManager class for dynamic resource path discovery - Searches up to 4 parent directories for testbed/shaders and testbed/meshes - Supports RP3D_RESOURCE_PATH environment variable override - Maintains backwards compatibility with fallback to relative paths - Uses std::filesystem for cross-platform path handling Files Added: - testbed/common/ResourceManager.h - Header with dynamic path discovery API - testbed/common/ResourceManager.cpp - Implementation with filesystem search - dynamicresourcefilelocation.md - Comprehensive documentation Files Modified: - testbed/src/SceneDemo.cpp - Updated shader and mesh folder paths - testbed/common/*.cpp - Updated all hardcoded mesh paths (Box, Sphere, etc.) - testbed/scenes/*/*.cpp - Updated scene-specific mesh paths - testbed/CMakeLists.txt - Added ResourceManager to build system Benefits: - Cross-platform compatibility across different build environments - No manual configuration required for developers - Robust error handling with informative fallback warnings - Performance optimized with path caching Tested successfully with CMake build system - application now runs without file not found errors regardless of build directory structure.
