/// LoadContent will be called once per game and is the place to load
/// all of your content.
///
/// Kaushik: The content pipeline in XNA is pretty complicated. Essentially
/// your files are converted to an easily understood file, which are then
/// loaded on run-time - this you don't "load" a file as you normally would.
/// The reason I have my code split into three projects (Content, Library, and
/// game) is because I need to have references to each of the other ones - if
/// I did it with two projects, they'd reference each other, and you'd get a
/// compile error. I can go into more on the content pipeline if you want -
/// this project won't really be dealing with it too much, except for maybe one
/// or two things (levels, for example).
///
/// Also, the way I do loading is a little different than the way XNA does
/// loading (because it commandeers all the threads to do loading, and so the
/// game "freezes"). I do it dynamically - so, eventually I'll have a "load manager"
/// which will watch what files I've loaded, unload some of them, and load
/// more in - this is sort of a work-around manual garbage collector at a more
/// abstract level. The load manager is multi-threaded, so I can run a
/// simple loading screen while it's loading. As such this method isn't really
/// my "load" function - it loads the bare necessisities, and gets the real
/// loading process started.
