Hi,
I am quite new here but have been digesting the forum and getting answers to things I hadn't even considered yet!
In any case, being a newb, I know there are lots of unanswered questions about game design on the forum
having trolled through about 300 pages now.

I came across this cool document I believe should be required reading for anyone beginning at attempting a game of some sort:

http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/type-object.html

This page should cover a lot of basic questions for others who are looking for this kind answer.

Although the code examples are in C++ all the methods can be applied in objective-c with very little effort.

Anyway, I am really grateful that there are people out there sharing these sort of recipes, otherwise it would
be incredibly hard slog!

Thanks for sharing!

It's nitpicking but I'd like to mention that you should distinguish more clearly between "game design" and "game programming". Game design is about questions like balancing, designing interaction, story, level design etc..
The link you shared focuses on game programming. You'll probably get better search results if you know that difference. There are also game design-patterns. E.G. having a boss monster could imho be considered a game design-pattern.
