I think this is a question that has been asked and answered before, but I couldn't find an answer. So I'll ask again… Do I need to worry about memory managent when creating my own types? For example if I create a number of usertypes, fill these with values of different kinds, store them in arrays and other good stuff, will I eat up all the memory? Do I need to erase them?

I can obviously use the remove method on arrays to remove them from the array, but do I also need to delete the type somehow? Or does AppGameKit have a garbage collector built in?

You do not need to do anything to free the memory of a type. If you shrink an array of types then the memory used by those types will be freed automatically.
