Have any of you taken on the challenge of learning Objective-C (or any C-based language), coming from an AS/Scripting background? I came to AS3 from a designer origin, taking the route from design to HTML/CSS/Javascript to AS's 1,2 and 3, so while I'm pretty comfortable in an oop/coding

Unless you need to assign a name or ID number to the heart, eg: heart.name = heart+myCounter; or new Heart(myCounter); (in which myCounter then gets saved within heart as idNum or whatever). I guess it depends on whether the hearts just sit quietly once added or will need to perform their own
