Hi. I'm planning to make a game, and I have a couple of questions
since I'm new to cocoa.
I'd highly recommend looking at CoreAnimation if you're going to
design a game. Its drawing model is very well suited to 2D sprite
animation. There's an Apple sample app called GeekGameBoard that
demonstrates using CA for games like checkers and solitaire:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/GeekGameBoard/index.html
It includes a small framework for generic board/card games, that you
can reuse and extend.
(Disclaimer: I wrote this sample. I'd be chuffed if someone wants to
use it, and I'll be glad to answer questions about it...)
I also have an unpublished/incomplete project that glues together
CoreAnimation and the open-source "Box2D" physics engine, letting you
add realistic 2D physics to your CA animations.
