Try as I might, I can't spot a problem here. I only have a very wild guess: do you have a separate thread where the planet is allocated? E.
G. Through performSelectorInBackground:? If so, you first need to set up a NSAutoreleasePool and drain it at the end of the method.
If that really is the problem you would see messages like NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x1234560 of class Foo autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
