Re: Game objects management

You mean, representation of those objects in Lua?
If yes - we use boxed pointers to represent objects, and just delete C++
object and zero this pointer (without destroying userdata) when needed. This
way the userdata will remain but will be empty (no function will work for
it), it's 'dead'. The userdata will be GCed eventually too, when all
references will be canceled.
