LOVE memory using

[rmn_rmn]

Hi everybody!
I face a strange behavior of my game: sometimes it uses 160 mb, sometimes only 5 mb memory. What is the reason of such a difference? How can I force it to use 5 mb always? The game is small and 5 mb is it's reasonable usage.

That is a very interesting question and we might have an answer if we could see the source of that game.

Thanks, Robin. I should have uploaded it before. It is 70 percent ready at the moment, but should be enough to determine the source of the problem, I guess.
(In particular, online mode and sometimes artificial int. don't work properly.)

My best guess (having not looked at the code) would be runaway data. A "sorcerer's apprentice mode" bug. You mentioned AI, which I would consider the prime suspect. For example: Path-finding. You have it grow a table of paths until a suitable path is found. Well, if it can't find a path, the path table could potentially grow and grow and grow until...

Just throwin stuff out there but I read something in the audio snippet (btw I'm new to LOVE)

If it is that then something having to do with the difference between static and steam use of your audio files. Like I said though, just throwin it out there.

Didn't we already have the "Wow!" joke last month?

Two months ago. And hush, it was appropriate, and I'll probably never get to use that image again.

Hmm, I noticed the difference before the game mode, just running it and staying in the main menu. So the slow ai doesn't seem to be the reason.
