Create an array of sprites with Pixi load?

[runeater]

I'm working on a small card game and I'd like to make an array of sprites to make the code more readable.

What I mean is I have hearts,spades,clubs and diamonds and I'd like each to be its own array when I load my images from my assets. Below is similar to what I have:

PIXI.Loader
     .add("hearts10","hearts10.png")
     .add("hearts9","hearts9.png")
     ...
     .load(start)

I'd like to be able to access the cards via an array of arrays, sort of like: 

var current_card = new Sprite(resources.cards.hearts.10.texture);

You can extract them from the resources object and put them into any structure you want. The resources object is simply an object with string keys and resources as values.

I just want to be able to load them into my resources object as an array, is this possible?

something like that

function Wrapper(loader) {
    var keys = [];

    this.add = function (key, resourcePath) {
        keys.push(key);
        loader.add(key, resourcePath);
        return loader;
    };

    this.createTexturesArray = function () {
        var textures = [];
        keys.forEach(function (key) {
            textures.push(PIXI.utils.TextureCache[key]);
        });
        return textures;
    };

}

var wrapper = new Wrapper(PIXI.loader);

wrapper
    .add("my-sprite1.png", "../res/my-sprite1.png")
    .add("my-sprite2.png", "../res/my-sprite2.png")
    .add("my-sprite3.png", "../res/my-sprite3.png")
    .add("my-sprite4.png", "../res/my-sprite4.png")

    .load(function () {

        var texturesArray = wrapper.createTexturesArray();

        texturesArray.forEach(function (texture) {
            console.info(texture);
        });

    });

Why do you need texture cache there? You have loader already

[tywang2006]

It is weird to use cache when using loader at same time, why not do sprite sheet, dont try to load mutli png files for a game development, which will make you trouble to manage all assets
