Hello everyone,
I've posted my question regarding to this issue in another topic, but I think it is better for me to create a topic and post all my code.
I started learning how to add backgrounds and animations with arraylist to the title, menu, and character selection screens.
If I just start the game normally, there is no issue.
If I just loop the title, menu, then character selection screens back and forth for a while (40-50 times),
it would cause out of memory. I know that no one would be crazy enough to loop the screens back and forth like this,
but still it should not be out of memory if it was coded correctly.
Furthermore, if I start the game and then quit the game, and repeat the loop above, it causes out of memory alot quicker.
Also, if I don't comment out these 2 functions in the title screen
and
it causes out of memory alot quicker. It seems like it adds more stuff to the memory instead of removing them when I start looping back and forth , but why?????
Obviously, I didn't code it correctly....
Please any help, advises, comments to help me with better coding/route/understanding, would be greatly appreciated
