My first game, a snake clone, is mostly finished; gameplay-wise it leaves much to be desired but for me this was much more of a technical excersise than creating something enjoyable. I’m looking for some comments on my code, I have no idea if I’ve fallen into any bad habbits or if I’m going about things in a wierd way.
I’d also like some advise on solving memory leaks, it happens when you switch between the game, main menu or highscores. Is there a program I can use to help me solve it? (I’m running Ubuntu)
A quick guess though is that you are not freeing mem before you are
reloading graphics fonts etc…

Yeah, I’d also recommend Valgrind or gdb, whichever. I think Valgrind will
be the easier of the two.On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 1:24 AM, Jonathan Greig wrote:
