Answer 1

you're probably best off using a games engine (google cocos2d) or similar to be honest. They come with their own starting templates that you can use, rather than using a view or window based application.

Answer 2

Its better to use a game engine like cocos2d. But u can make games by choosing view based application also. Refer "Apress Beginning iPhone Games Development" it helps u a lot.

Answer 3

You should make the object with help of sprite class.You can make Sprite and AtlasSprite classes with help of Apress book. and read all about these classes before use.

Sprite *obj; (in .h file)

//in .m file

obj = [AtlasSprite fromFile:@"img.png" withRows:1 withColumns:1];
//now set the properties of the obj. 
//for moving set

obj.x = 20; obj.y = 25;  //by default x,y is 0,0
obj.speed = 120; //120 is just for example
obj.angle = 0;  //for left to right movement
obj.angle = 180; //for right to left movement
timer = [NSTimer scheduledWithTimeInterval:1/10 target:self selector:@selector(func) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

-(void)func {
     [obj tic:1/20];  //for moving obj.  1/20 is just for example
}
