What's the difference between
- (id)init
and
- (void)awakeFromNib ? Which one should I do the initialization inside ?

What about reading some documentation first?

-init... is used for generic objects, made programmatically. -awakeFromNib is used only for objects made by loading them from a NIB (since they are _loaded_, not _inited_, init would not be called). For technical reasons it's a mite more complicated, but the simple rule is

- initialize your engine objects in their init... methods;
- initialize your controller objects (which are placed in NIBs) in their awakeFromNib methods.

As a matter of fact, so far as I understood your initial question properly,
you want none of them; what you (I think) are seeking for is the application delegate method applicationDidFinishLoading:.
