Hi,
I think integer handles are good for beginners, and that's why they're in there. eg...
player=LoadImage( "player.png" )
...is easier to get to grips with than...
player:TImage=LoadImage( "player.png" )
Maybe not to experienced programmers, but I try to send my mind back to when I was learning stuff, and having to know both types and functions is just extra work if you're starting out - esp. with a procedural interface.
In fact, you can pretty much remove all Releases and =Nulls from all the code I've seen posted here to date!
Sorry - unclear again! I meant Release when used *with objects*, which a lot of people have been doing.
