If I load an image using the following code:

Tier 1: myImage = LoadImage("ImageA.png")
Tier 2: myImage = agk::LoadImage("ImageA.png")

Will AppGameKit automatically handle memory management so if I then load a second image into the same ID, it will erase the original from memory?

Tier 1: myImage = LoadImage("ImageB.png")
Tier 2: myImage = agk::LoadImage("ImageB.png")

Or must I first manually delete the original image before loading a new one into the same ID?

Hi Samj, you can have multiple images loaded into memory at the same time (which is perfectly fine so long as you don't load too many) however they cannot share the same reference number. But, if you only want one image loaded at a time then you would have to manually delete them.
