Supposing I have two objects - one that is a base type for my game objects which has a pointer to the game..
Type Tmob
Field class,x,y
Field game:Tgame
Field img:Timage
Field destroyed=False
Method update()
''do stuff with game
EndMethod
Method draw()
DrawImage(img,x,y)
EndMethod
Method destroy()
destroyed=True
EndMethod
EndType
and the game which extends Tlist and serves as a collection.
Type Tgame Extends TList
Method play()
For Local m:Tmob = EachIn Self
If m.destroyed
Remove(m)
Else
m.update()
m.draw()
EndIf
Next
EndMethod
Method make(class,x,y)
Local m:Tmob = New Tmob
m.class=class
m.x=x
m.y=y
m.game=Self
AddFirst(m)
EndMethod
EndType
When a mob is destroyed and removed from the list will it stick around in memory because it has a link to game or will the garbage collection get rid of it? If it does stick around can I solve this by setting game to nulll or somehow destroying the pointer?
