Is the following true? When the app is about to quit, it's not necessary to clean up the memory by calling release on all your retained objects, because the iPhone OS will reclaim the memory it allocated for your app when you launched it.

I am making a game where 'defending' sprites need to animate towards 'attacking' sprites. But for example an attacker might change course to attack something else, mid animation. What's the best way to manage animations, and destinations? I believe I must remove any action on a sprite before adding a new one. Perhaps I need to use the s...
So I'm trying to do collision detections between sprites in cocos 2d. Although I think I may be asking too much as it crashes and the compiler doesn't give me an error, the iPhone simulator just freezes and then gives up.

In cocos2d, I'm trying to call a method on the Parent of a CocosNode. The app works fine, but I get an 'Object' may not respond to 'method' warning. The parent is a subclassed Cocos2d layer, so I'm guessing I need to cast parent somehow, but that generates fatal errors. The method is like this if(CGRectContainsPoint([newBrick boundingB...
