garbage and free memory

[pranadevil]

hi everyone,

 

im wondering if when i end a level i should call a method to destroy and collect garbage variables to free memory and resources in a game.

do you often do that? and how do you do it?

thanks

Just stop referencing them in your code and the GC will pick them up for you eventually.

A Phaser.State does have a "shutdown" method. That's a good place to stop listening to signals and stuff. There's no way in JS to tell the GC to run, however.
