Memory Use

I'm trying to keep the space used by my game low, but what is the best way to do this. I'm pretty much done with objects and i have used 15 mb. How much space does coding take?

It depends on the size of the game, for example in my Tank game I used a lot of fancy animation and it still only took up maybe 2 mb of space. Objects are really what use up the most though, so don't worry too much about coding space.

One good thing to do is recycle objects and textures. For example, if you have 5 tanks, but noly a few are showing at once, reuse tanks from other places with a tank list of sorts. The benefits increase as you recycle more. If you only see one tank at a time, but you have 50 total, you still only need 2 tanks.
