Say I've got 5 levels, I've create a class for each level with a sort of "Load Level" function that I fire off when the player picks the level from the main menu. So in that function I load up all the objects, sprites, textures, shaders, music and sfx using the variables stores in the header file of that level class.

Now say the player is done playing that level and wants to exit and play another level. After the player returns to the main menu, will destroying the object of that class also destroy all the assets I've loaded in or should I be coding that in in the destructor function of that class?

you have to create a destroy function which will delete all the assets (deleteObject, deleteSprite, etc..)

Gotcha. Thank you.

Guessing this way we can have multiple levels without having to load everything all together.

You might want to look at using some sort of entity list or vector array of some sort to keep track of all the objects you load into each scene.
That way if you want to for example keep a GUI element or scene loader running - you can do so.

The default way in AppGameKit is to call agk:eleteAllObjects() and agk:eleteAllImages(), agk:eleteAllSprites(); etc - but this wipes everything - so no option to have a splash or loader gui still running while you do it - this needs a fade or dip to black etc.

By making your own entity lists - you can loop thru and delete just the elements you need too when you clear a scene.

Yes. On my side, I'm using a asset's level when I load an asset :
load(object,level).
And I use a FreeObjects(level) method.

Yeah, I figured I'd have to load objects and textures in the consrttuctor and then delete them in the deconstructor manually.
