Chapter 17 - Memory leaking... Date slipping...

It's been 4 months now that I've first started to develop this game, feature wise, it's shaping up, but.... There is one major bug I couldn't squash.... The bug is intermittent, yet destructive... Also, I've put memory leak checking everywhere, but even when the memory leak checkers reported no leaks, my Windows Task Manager reports that my application is chewing memory like chewing gum... Ouch...

It seemed that I might have to slip engineering from the expected 4 months to 6-8 months. Now I know why all the AAA titles keeps delaying their releases - cause they want the best to go out the door and keeps the game polished before release so that it will be enjoyed by gamers!!!

Last words - Memory leaks, I HATE YOU!!!! But... I'll persist on non-managed code rather than managed code...

Until next time... Have fun :)
