/*! 
    \file resource_manager.h
    \brief The Resource Manager checks if a file/resource is loaded.

    If a file/resource was already loaded the resourceManager will 
    return a void pointer to the desired resource.
    Otherwise it will instruct the coresponding resource-loader to load,
    and receive a pointer to it.
