Profile is a utility class that loads and caches the spritesheets, sprites, animations, sound effects and attributes for a given class name.
Profiles are stored as property lists in the Assets/Profiles directory.
Animations are stored in a dictionary value called animations.
The key corresponds to the name of the animation.
Each animation value is a sub-dictionary which specifies the key-value pairs used by the animation.
The format key-value specifies a printf-style format string used to load all spriteframes.
Blob%d.png for example will load Blob0.png, Blob1.png, Blob2.png, etc.
The frameCount key-value specifies the number of frames.
The delay key-value specifies the amount of delay in seconds between each frame.
Sounds are stored in a dictionary value called sounds.
Each key specifies the name of the sound and each value can either be a string or array.
If the value is a string, it specifies a single sound effect.
If the value is an array, it specifies multiple sound effects, one of which is chosen at random when playing the sound.
Attributes are stored in a dictionay called attributes.
An attribute specifies a default for the given object class.
Setting hp to 1 in Blob.plist will indicate that all Blob objects have a default of one hitpoint.
This can be overridden in the tmx map file.
If a Blob is created in the tmx file and given an hp property of 2, then that particular Blob will have two hitpoints.
Here’s a list of the attributes that can be specified for any generic class.
Keep in mind that individual classes may or may not extend this list of attributes in the setProperties method.
scale: a floating point number used to uniformly scale the object.tag: an integer tag number used to identify the object amongst other objects in the level.id: a string used to uniquely identify this object amongst all other objects in all the levels of the game. Used by save game data to ensure that a player can get a permanent powerup item or fight a boss only once.name: a string value that names the given object. Used primarily in the tmx object properties. Naming an door object Door0, for example, will allow the door to be referenced by that name by other objects. Think of an enemy opening Door0 when it is defeated.hp: an integer used to specify how many hitpoints the object has. Used by Character-derived classes.damage: an integer used to specify how many hitpoints of damage the object does. Used by Character-derived classes.An array listing all the spritesheets used by this class.
These are automatically cached (along with animations and sounds) when the Profile loads.

public:
Profile();
~Profile();Get a profile by name and cache it (or return an already-cached profile).
Using Zombie as the name will load Assets/Profiles/Zombie.plist.
static Profile* profileWithName(const string& name);Fills a vector with all the default attribute keys. Example: hp, damage, scale, etc.
void getAllDefaultAttributeKeys(vector<string>& keys);Return the default attribute value for the given key.
Value defaultAttributeForKey(const string& key);Return the animation for a given key.
Animation* animationForKey(const string& key);Return the animation for a given key and index. Used when the given animation dictionary is actually an array of animations.
Animation* animationForKey(const string& key, int index);Return true if the profile has an animation for the given key and/or index.
bool hasAnimation(const string& key);
bool hasAnimation(const string& key, int index);Play a sound given a key. If the key’s value is a string, it is treated as a filename and the sound is played. If the key’s value is an array of strings, one of them is selected at random and played.
int playSound(const string& key);Return the sprite frame for the given key and index.
