Textures module
---------------
In order for the game to render a particular tile (graphic), it needs to know ``texpos`` - the position in the vector of the registered game textures (also the graphical tile id passed as the tile field in a `Pen <lua-screen-pen>`).
In order for the game to render a particular tile (graphic), it needs to know the
``texpos`` - the position in the vector of the registered game textures (also the
graphical tile id passed as the ``tile`` field in a `Pen <lua-screen-pen>`).
Add your own texture to it and get ``texpos`` is not difficult. But the game periodically deletes textures that are in the vector, and that's the problem.
Because the ``texpos`` we got earlier no longer points to our added texture.
The ``texture`` module solves this problem. Instead of ``texpos`` directly, it operates on the ``TexposHandle`` entity, which is essentially a reference to ``texpos``.
