Hi

I’ve been looking at different ways to instantate a class within cocos2dx. It looks like there are 3 ways to do this, but want to find out the best way of doing this. If the heap vs stack is better, also in I found out you can use smart pointers, is this something that can be used within cocos2dx without issue? Also it looks like its better to use unique_pointer as you dont need to worry about deleteing this as it does it for you?

Level_Engine *test1 = new Level_Engine(); // Heap
Level_Engine test2; // Stack
    
test1->a = 1;
test2.a = 2;
    
std::unique_ptr<Level_Engine> test3; // Heap
    
test3->a;

Also can you also chose between stack and heap for certain sprites and function calls. I am guessing functions could be kepy in Heap for fast execution and sprites better in Stack as more memory required. For example :

cocos2d::Vector<cocos2d::Sprite*> _SpritesStore; // Stack
void TouchesEnded(cocos2d::Touch* touches, cocos2d::Event* event); // Stack

or use...

cocos2d::Vector<cocos2d::Sprite> _SpritesStore; // Using heap instead
void TouchesEnded(cocos2d::Touch touches, cocos2d::Event event); // Using heap instead
