Animation server/direct display memory writing or simple app

0 replies · 2,020 views · Started 19 March 2003

Hello

I'm now diving into Symbian OS (with C++) and my objective is to make a simple game, something like platform game (1 level, no scrolling thing, just a picture that moves through the screen, with a background and "killing" other pictures in the screen)

My question is, what should I use? Should I write the sprites directly to the display memory (but this would only work in 1 mobile...), should I use an animation server (like the animation example) or should I simply draw to the UI?

I'm really confused, I really don't know what I should use...

Thanks for your help!
