Code V.igoro.us

Once upon a time, I was a member of the Syzygy Cult, an active game-development group for the 680x0 macs. Among the many games we wrote was Mantra, an adventure game with a top-down view similar to Legend of Zelda. Recently, the source code has re-surfaced (one of the other members found it in his parents' basement over the holidays).

One of the problems with coding in a high-level language is that sometimes the insulation from low-level details like memory management is not complete. In this post, I present a method for debugging memory leaks in Python.
