CrazyAznGamer	Just wondering, when VERGE closes, does it automatically free any memory used by resources? EDIT: Can you use GetInt() to get a Sound, Song, or Image? Posted on 2005-12-20 22:40:39 (last edited on 2005-12-20 23:01:17)
Omni	I'm gonna take a wild guess. I sure hope so. Running it multiple times doesn't seem to retard my computer or anything like that. Posted on 2005-12-20 23:01:40

EDIT: Can you use GetInt() to get a Sound, Song, or Image? Yes to both. Are you ever loading a new image pointer to an integer without first freeing the old one? Are you using DMA at all? I think that might not free automatically. Posted on 2005-12-21 06:28:32

I think that might not free automatically. There's no automatic freeing of images in verge, in any case. When you call NewImage, it just returns an int which you can think of as the index to a big array of images. There's nothing special about that int otherwise. Same for fonts, sounds, etc. You have to explicitly free them. Posted on 2005-12-21 14:45:00
Omni	So when I exit Verge without calling FreeImage on all my images, then that data is still stuck in memory? Posted on 2005-12-21 16:10:52

I didn't know that, and I rarely felt the sideeffects of the leaked memory then either. Posted on 2005-12-21 16:48:25
Jesse	No, no no. I meant that if you do this: int a = NewImage(...); a = NewImage(...); The first one isn't freed automatically. When you quit verge, the system takes all the memory it used and recycles it. Posted on 2005-12-21 19:37:35
Omni	Oh, that's good. Posted on 2005-12-21 20:58:42
