Hi John,
Yes. As Philip has answered the game will destroy objects and
variables when they go out of scope. In addition BGT has a built-in
garbage collector which cleans up after itself so you don't have to
worry about cleaning up after yourself. BGT will automatically handle
all that for you.

Hi John,
You can simply use a boolean variable to test if the enemy or item is
in play or not like this.
if (enemy1.is_killed == false)
{
UpdateEnemy1();
}
if (item1.is_found == false)
{
UpdateItem1();
}

I'm wondering if it's safe to remove an object from an array, if
the command to do so comes from within the object itself. I.e:
if(health<=0)//if this ship dies
{
ships.remove_at(number);//
ent
number of elements in the array. So you never need to worry about
explicitly
calling object destructors.
Kind regards,

Awesome. While I'm looking for info, does the engine
automatically clean up variables that are no longer in use? I
have a commonly-called method, which creates a variable. Will
that variable be destroyed when the method is finished?
Thanks,
John.

From: Philip Bennefall What language are you using? If it is BGT, the array class has
methods such
as remove_last, remove_at etc which will do what you want. Other
programming
languages have equivalent containers, such as C++ vector or list.

Hi John,

I'm actually not trying to be snarky here, :) I just can't give you a better
answer until I know both the language you're using and your method for creating
your entities in the first place. Know what I mean?

once the enemy is defeated, I have no idea how to remove it from
the game. Could anybody give me some examples of how you handle
