Enter OOP: if the user does something unexpected, make sure that the methods you're using aren't overaccomplishing. By this I mean any time the user is presented with something, make sure that it's using a different method. In essence the code isn't a single linear line, it's multiple linear lines, starting from a single point.

That probably was a *terrible* explaination.

I understand what you're talking about though. Not in the strict sense however. Attempting to learn ObjC from my knowledge of PHP isn't easy, mainly because it's a paradigm shift - PHP handles each request with a fresh slate, ObjC doesn't (if you want to call them requests, that is).

I can see I'm not being of much help, so I'm going to go be quiet now ^_^
