Out of Memory
Aug 2nd, 2006, 7:31pm  
Hi everyone,
I am a total novis at pragraming and so forgive me if I ask obvious questions. I am trying to make a game using Processing but am experiencing problems with memory.

Does anyone know any reasons why my game should run out of memory after approx 5MB? I have no sound as of yet and so this total file size is made up of only .png files.

So far I have created a moving background and a moving character. I am attempting to create animated collectables (much like coins in mario games) which are made up from 19 images (stages of the animation). Obviously I will need lots of these items and so have made an object to use over and over again. This seems to cause me a lot of memory (and indeed slow down) issues. Does anyone know why this is and if there is any way to rectify this.

Thanks
Andy
