How do I allocate something correctly with t2d....

I try U8 *byte = new U8[2];

and then delete byte;

and I get errors.... Im a C# fanboy and I only took a few online tutorials for c++....

Thanks in advanced.

Hard to help you on your errors if you don't post what they are. ;)

Are you getting "array alloc mismatch?" If so, then you'll probably find that you're deleting the array allocation using...
delete byte;
... instead of...
delete [] byte;

If this is your problem then here's how you do it with single/multiple allocations...
U8 *singleItem = new U8;
delete singleItem;

U8* multipleItems = new U8[100];
delete [] multipleItems;

Hope this helps,
