Bright Pool System

A pooling system that creates and manages access to your pool of objects.

Features

• Create pools when it's best for your project.
• Avoid garbage collection by resuing objects.
• Use Aquire and Release methods as your "Instantiate" and "Destroy" objects.
• Use events to notify other systems when objects are aquired and released.
