Right now I'm just calling destroy functions for my font, display, timer, bitmaps, etc. at the end of program execution. Is this all necessary or could I replace it all with just al_uninstall_system()? I've seen people talking about it, but no clear on answer on what it actually handles. |

In general, it's a good habit to clean up your resources one by one before you call al_uninstall_system(). If you don't, you might get away with it most of the time, but I've seen bugs crop up because certain objects weren't destroyed. For example, if you do not destroy audio stream objects, a thread will keep running and your game won't shut down properly. -- |

So I should be calling uninstall system alongside my destroy functions? |

Yes, it is my understanding that you have to call both. -- |

Some things are cleaned up automatically like bitmaps, but not everything so yeah do both. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!
