Poker game needs cocos2d?

[bennettfan]

if I need to develop a poker game. Is it need to use cocos2d? or simply use xcode4 is ok? using cocos2d is easier to develop a poker game instead of just using xcode4?

If i use cocos2d, which part in the simple poker game can be used?


Thanks so much ^^

Also, I would like to ask if I need to have "VS" function. What I mean is that player play with player, 4 player connect together. Any example to get start? or any reference can I read?

if you do a game, probably you need a fast rendering, so you need to use something with OpenGL ES, cocos2d is a nice framework on top of OpenGL ES, so yes...cocos2d can be very usefull for games.

To manage multiplayer in this particular case i would prefer to have a server to manage things avoiding to implement a server\client solution directly on the app.

You can take a look this tutorial, it should be a good start.
