I am trying to develop a simple soccer game including penalty kicks in which i have to animate a ball from player to the goal post...earlier i have been using simple animations using a timer to add to the axis of ball image so that it moves from 1 point to another..but i did not have the desired result as animations were not that smooth...So i was thinking of using a Game Engine...Since i am a New Programmer i have no idea about game engine and neither can i find any proper documentation regarding engines like box2d or chipmunks or sparrow..i was also thinking of using UIView animations instead of the earlier animations as i think that can achieve far better animations without scratching my head trying to work on a game engine....I am going no where with this so it would be really great if someone can put some light on this issue of mine???
