Question

I have written a function that adds a ball to an array yet when I check the count it hasnt increased, please can someone advise.

NSMutableArray *_otherBalls;


-(void)addBall{
    CCSprite *target = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"redbouncyball.gif" rect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 27, 40)]; 

    [self addChild:target];

    //add to our array
    [_otherBalls addObject:target];

    NSLog(@"Added ball : %@",[_otherBalls count]);
}

The log comes out as

Added ball : (null)

From your code it seams that you have never initialized the array. So it’ cant store anything. Unless you did in init, but thats hard to guess.
