How do I stop Android from auto-killing an app?

I am new to Android - just got a Droid 3 - so this is probably the first of many questions.

How do I stop the system from auto-killing a certain app? When I play Angry Birds, if the phone goes to sleep on timeout, when I turn it back on, the App has to re-load from scratch (rather than opening to where I left off last time). I'm assuming the system decided to kill it for lack of memory, but how do I STOP it from doing that (like an ignore list)?

Will I need a third party app?

Any help is appreciated!
 
I'm not sure if you understood the problem...

We want to stop Android from killing an application, which is not used for some time (so that the application keeps running).

Is that possible at all ? :confused:
 
Go Launcher has an option to lock apps (keep then running) in the app drawer, but I'm not sure if that will work for what you want it to do. Might be worth a try.
