memory leak with each move? #17

Closed zeakzz closed 2 years ago

zeakzz commented 3 years ago

every time i move a piece the games ram usage goes up by about 100 mb. is there any plan to fix this?

RuolinZheng08 commented 3 years ago

16 I attempted to fix it but it might be a bug in this particular version of the package https://python-chess.readthedocs.io/en/v0.23.10/. I can't switch to a higher version because this is the last version that supports Python 2 (which Ren'Py uses).

You are welcome to look into it if you have some bandwidth, as I currently don't have the bandwidth to investigate further.

zeakzz commented 3 years ago

since renpy 7.4.3 it has allowed compatibility with python 3 and is planning on full support in 8.0

RuolinZheng08 commented 3 years ago

7.4 only provides very limited compatibility and that wasn't sufficient for a full upgrade of the package.

zeakzz commented 3 years ago

oh i see, are there plans to upgrade once renpy 8.0 comes out?

zeakzz commented 3 years ago

I may have found the source of the memory leak, is there a way to make these console window hosts that spam up during a game expire? or perhaps a fix on your end that would make less of them appear? because im having a issue where even after a chess game is over the game will be extremely slow until it is restarted. unknown

It seems to open a new window host every time i move a piece and it also opens a new stockfish and pythonw process, which is very memory consuming.
