force GCCollect, good practice?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/force GCCollect, good practice?

the bigger question is.

Why would you need to call GCCollect?

If you can answer that questions then maybe you can improve your code.

I had the same questions with a particle system I wrote. I think it is important that you keep track of memory usage. Automatic Garbage Collection is not a magic bullet.
