How would i do this? (animation help)

[nesh96]

I am planning to make a 2D game where you need to throw a ball at a target by flicking the ball(the ball would need a sense of distance like it is being thrown far). I was just wondering how would i go about this? Like what would i use, because a slightly more diagonal flick would make the ball go somewhere else. Would I use the UIImageViews, Quartz, OpenGL, cocos2d, or something else?

UIImageViews would be fine for this, or for anything with less than a dozen or so objects. Cocos2D would be my choice, it's a great library. OpenGL would be fine, but lots more to learn and lots more work to get to "hello world."

Quartz is a dead end IMO; more work than UIViews, but less performance than OpenGL or Cocos2D.
