Objective-C binding and iPhone features
About:
We have developed an Objective-C binding for chipmunk that eases the development of physics based software, especially for the iPhone. The Chipmunk API has been rewritten to take advantage of Objective-C language features; for example, memory management is greatly simplified by reference counting within Objective-Chipmunk. Objective-Chipmunk features a new API and helper functions that will save hours of work, particularly on iPhone games.

| Chipmunk Object Protocol (?)
The Chipmunk Object Protocol facilitates the easy addition of Chipmunk bodies and
joints to the space. It also lets you easily create compound objects and keep your physics code organized.
