How to delete objects in corona?

Question

Corona SDK

I have a game for the crown. And I need to delete objects that have gone beyond the screen, how to do this? I rummaged through the Internet, but still I couldn’t do it, what should I do?

Answer 1

obj:removeSelf();
Plus, you need to remove all references to this object so that the garbage collector can clean it from memory. More or less like this:

event.object1:removeSelf();
event.object1 = nil;

In general, it depends on the game code. That is, if there are lists of objects somewhere, then they also need to be deleted. In short, the general principle is this - just assigning nil to a variable:
obj = nil;
