Acey Deucey part 6

Suddenly feel very noobish. Have no idea how things relate to each other, how to get debugger to show me something, how to maintain memory, what magic is behind NIB files etc. Just flailing for something to grab onto. So it was like a triumph to get anything to show that I created from code.

My first few lines of code that actually created something. This loads cards.png and shows it on the screen. Might leak memory, not entirely sure (Update: yes, it leaked because addSubView incremented retain count).

UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"cards.png"]; // who should release this?
self.sub = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:img];
[sub release]; // to get retain count to 1
[self.view addSubview:sub];


Output:
