I have a view controller that has three skscenes as children.
When I transition from one to another, the old skscene doesn't get deallocated.
I want it to get deallocated as if it was never there.
Example:
When I first load the app, only 1 skscene is visible (say it takes up 100mb memory), then I transition to another (100mb more), and then the third (300mb memory).
I would end up with 300mb memory and I want to have 100 at all times.
How can I achieve this?
