Clearing Python's Memory
I've checked the Pygame docs, haven't found anything. But once all the images and sounds are loaded with Pygame, and after I'm done using them, how can I clear them from Python's memory?
Do I just kill the variable by going x = None ? Or will that not clear the loaded image or sound from Python's memory? |

Look up garbage collection? thats the handle for cleaning up objkects in other languages, maybe pygame has the same thing....

Should be taken care of by the garbage collector. You can free the memory and clear the name reference like so:
