Quick resources question

[NGM88]

I have a base class Panel and various derived classes like PlayerPanel.

Currently the base class holds an sf::Texture* and I assign them from my Interface class like objPlayerPanel.texPanel = &texInterface. I do this many times for each derived panel.

After completing the UI, it seems that all the derived panels will use the same texture file. Originally I thought I might have different files for different panels, but that didn't turn out to be the case.

Should I keep the code as it is, or should I instantiate the base class and let it load the texture?

If something is shared among all derived classes, it's probably better to have it in the base class.

But as always, the real answer is: It depends...
