Hi,
i'm making my little program, kinda remake of robocop arcade bonus stage.
I noticed a memory leak when i call my function "calcular_render", grabbing
200 kb /second. I dunno what might be the cause. Any ideas? Thanks in
advance, here's the complete code (I'm working in DevCpp):

 -----------------------------------------------

The problem is pretty obvious.  In your calcular_render() function you call
SDL_LoadBMP() 11 times, but only free one of the images you load.  Move your
call to     SDL_FreeSurface(imagen); right after you call
SDL_BlitSurface(imagen, NULL, cuadro_princi.screen, &dest);

That will fix the leak.
