Feature request: Custom arguments in Pool's builder func

[keasy9]

First, thank you for really convinent api and many usefull features!

Context

I'm making simple galaxy shooter game with exalibur, where enemies have different textures, based on a parameter in constructor (just a Enum). And I wanna use pool for enemies, so I need to be able change texture type of enemy when getting it from pool.

Proposal

This is possible now like these:

pool.get().setType(EnemyType.Rocket)

but it will more convenient if I could do somethhing like these:

pool.get(EnemyType.Rocket)

I totally support this feature! It should be possible to extract the argument list type from the builder function. To avoid breaking existing stuff, would it be okay to add a new .getWithParameters(...builderParams)?

Also for your specific game, RentalPool might be better since that one assumes objects live for a long time, Pool assumes objects are short lived and reclaimed all at once when .done() is called.

Yes, but I think that .getWithParameters name is too long for convenient use, maybe .getWithParams(...builderParams) or even .getWith(...builderParams)? However, naming is up to you.

And thanks for good advice about RentalPool!
