I don't de-initialize anything. I just pray that my OS cleans up any memory leaks that I leave behind.
murder() would also be nice BTW.
what is the opposite of init (initialize)

Most of the time, you can. There are circumstances however when a seperate Initialize() function makes sence, and indeed, when it's the only way to do certain things.

You can't always rely on the constructor, particularly virtual function calls.
Besides, sometimes, you want to re-initialise an object (another one for the books) without destroying it.
Object.StrikeDownWithGreatVengance();
Actually, I use Initialize() and Shutdown(), with the occasional Kill().

It also lets you have better control over when the object is initialized.
Hm.. I always thought initialize/shutdown were correct. But this thread has me thinking that over [grin]

Have they even invented chavs in guildford yet? :)
I tend to have void Free(). Often I have destructors that just call Free(), which allows you to choose to Free() earlier, or just wait for destruction.

The thing I always have trouble with is choosing appropriate names for my classes (Entity or Object?). There should be like a standard list of names somewhere that would therefore aid in code readability (if everyone knew the standard name for something).
I'm going to start a new topic on the game programming wiki on "standard game object names".
Does anyone think its worth it?
