#import "Extensions/Assets";
Load a file a program ships with (a texture, a sound, a level) by a relative path, from disk natively and over fetch() in the browser playground. A jaic extension, not official Jai. See docs/extensions/assets.md.
#import "Extensions/Assets";
bytes, ok := load_asset("assets/texture.png");

Natively the path is tried as given (from the working directory), then next to the executable.
In the browser the page answers jai_asset_fetch by fetching the path relative to the asset
base URL it was set up with; without that host function (a page with no asset base, a WASI
command) the path is read from the program's file system instead. The bytes are allocated with
context.allocator.
