Worked on the pygame-community/pygame-ce repository to implement weak reference support for Texture and freetype.Font objects, enhancing memory management and object lifecycle safety. The approach involved extending C structures with new members and initialization routines to enable Python’s weakref integration, ensuring that objects could be referenced without preventing their deallocation. Developed and executed deallocation and garbage-collection tests to validate the correct behavior of weak-referenced objects. This work leveraged skills in C programming, low-level memory management, and Python interoperability, addressing the risk of unintended object retention and improving downstream project integration. Focus remained on robust testing and adherence to object-oriented principles.
