   I've done a few cocos2d tutorials and have the very basics down, I think. I was wondering if someone can help me out and point me to somewhere I can learn about game structure within cocos2d? So far, I've just been setting up the game scene in applicationDidFinishLaunching method in the app delegate. Am I supposed to pass the reference to the scene from method to method? Is there a better way? Thanks for reading.

   in my game i have one class called GameMaster which holds references to all the scenes in my game as class fields. I also retain these scenes so that i can use them later on again without creating them from scratch.

   The only purpose of this class is to switch between different modes of my game.
   That's it. The scenes i create are custom classes which inherit from Scene and i pass them a reference of GameMaster so that they can call methods like mainMenu or gameOver on it. These methods (in GameMaster) then switch between the scenes.

   In other words: the master knows about scenes but not about the actual game logic and every scene knows about itself and about game states but not actual about what other scenes exist.
   This class design has worked out pretty well for me so far.
   Hope that helps you.

   You need to look at design patterns, start with Singleton :-)
