Obviously , you allocate *something* *somewhere*(((im a genius :-P))) that never gets deleted.

There are 2 ways to solve this :
1) If you don't have to allocate buffers and your using C++ , just use STL.
2)If you have to do allocations/cleanups manually , then you need a memory tracker with the ability to dump every single entry to a log file or something.

The tracker must hold at least : 1) The data-pointer , 2) The size , 3) The source file , 4) The line of the current source file(just take a look at __FILE__,__LINE__ directives), and must know exactly how many blocks of memory are available, preventing memory allocations out-of-the-limit.

Suggestion before implementing this : Use linked lists to store this information. Don't use static array stacks or dynamic arrays.

jus noiced this but my tutorial for "How To Install MinPSPW with Code::Blocks IDE" is named "Stinkee2 - by Stinkee2" lol

was that an accident?
