//  Cornell Extensions to Cocos2D
//
//  This module provides an abstract class for generic assets.  It is to help with any asset (such
//  (such as a model file or level layout) not explicitly included in the existing asset classes.
//  It has methods for loading and unloading from a file, which any subclass should implement.
//
//  IMPORTANT: In order to work properly, the subclass must have the static constructors create()
//  and create(file) defined.  As with most classes in Cocos2d, you should not allow direct
//  access to the constructors.
