is Open GL a Overkill for a 2d Card Game?


I was just have an idea of creating a card game and I was just thinking whether to use OpenGl or CoreAnimation.Can you please tell me whether it would be a bit of a overkill to use OpenGL for s 2D card game.Thanks :)


Solution

  • It's hard to say without knowing more. You can get pretty far using CALayers, images or drawing with quartz for the cards though. It really depends on the level of visual effects you are considering. If it's just moving cards around, then I'd say use layers.
