What should be included in the shutdown method?

[toto88x]

Hello,

 

If I have something like this in my create function:

create: function () {    this.cursor = game.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys();    this.label = game.add.text(w/2, h/2, 'test', { fontSize: '34px', fill: '#fff' });    this.label.anchor.setTo(0.5, 0.5);    this.player = game.add.sprite(w/2, h/2, 'player');    this.player.body.collideWorldBounds = true;    this.enemies = game.add.group();    this.enemies.createMultiple(20, 'enemy');    this.enemies.setAll('outOfBoundsKill', true);    this.hit_s = game.add.audio('hit');    this.score = 0;}

What should be included in the shutdown method to clean up all the memory? And how to do it?

 

Thanks!

I am interested in the answer too. AFAIK, here is what I would put into your shutdown function:

shutdown: function () {    this.cursor = null;    this.label = null;    this.player = null;    this.enemies = null;    this.hit_s = null;}

This will ensure those objects can be garbage collected.

I'm in the habit of explicitly destroying everything that can be destroyed.

shutdown: function () {    this.cursor = null;    this.label = null;    if (this.player) {        this.player.destroy();        this.player = null;    }    if (this.enemies) {        this.enemies.destroy(true);        this.enemies = null;    }        if (this.hit_s) {        this.hit_s.stop();        this.hit_s = null;    }}
