title: Create swipe controlled simple flipbook style animation in ObjC
body: <p>I am a beginner in Obj C development, though quite experienced (over 10 years) with other ECMAscript based languages and OOP development.</p>
  
  <p>I want to build a simple flipbook style animation, controlled through swiping motion. I'm sure extremely simple for any advanced ObjC coders.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone with extensive ObjC-CocoaTouch experience give me some higher level recommendations?
  ie, <br><br>
  1 -general application design, should I start with a simple view based application, or navigation based or?<br><br>
  2 -should I use 3rd party animation frameworks such as Cocos2D, or stick with built in classes and methods?<br><br>
  3 -if using built in methods, classes, what is the recommended way of achieving a animation, that will be controlled via swipe and touch gestures?<br><br>
  4 -I want to eventually have multiple 'flipbooks' that I can 'instantly' swap with one another, ie to give the net effect of an object changing color, etc, but not sure how to approach this from a memory management point of view, related to #1 above</p>
  
  <p>Except for point 3 above, I'm not expecting any actual code examples. Just general guidelines to follow and perhaps, what are some next steps I should take in my goal as an ObjC code samurai.</p>
