Usage

Surface LoadSurface(filename);

• filename string. The path to the image file, relative to the images/ directory.
• Surface is returned, which is a Sphere Surface object containing the image data.

Examples

To load an image named "bleh.jpg" in images/ into your game:

var surface = LoadSurface("bleh.jpg");

Notes

• To load images in subdirectories other than other/, use one of the following prefixes, followed by the desired path:
  • ~/ to load from the game's base directory. This allows for better organisation.
  • /common/ to load from Sphere/common/, a directory that can be shared by all games.

• If you only plan to display images, consider using LoadImage() instead.
