I'm new to cocoa, and I'd need a pointer to get started learning and
experimenting.
What would be the most adequate graphics cocoa API to render a 2D
game? core graphics or opengl? The requirements would be a relatively
smooth frame rate rendering, and the possibility to draw and render
sharp pixels. From what I read Quartz has a vector drawing engine, but
also allows to render bitmap data. Is it possible to control Quartz to
draw non-anti-aliased bitmaps? Lastly, but not less importantly, it
should not ask too much from the processor, mostly to avoid draining
the battery on the go.
(In case that matters, the end platform would be ... a significantly
less powerful machine than a latest standard mac desktop.)
