Question

I am trying to build a jigsaw puzzle game in android. Could someone explain what would be the best method of doing this?

1. I was thinking of using a grid of image views and swapping the images when the user slides it.

2. Using open gl?

Which is better?

Answer 1

I’d go for the first option, since it is:

• easier to implement
• you are using tested and well working facilities
• you do not have to deal with platform dependant issues
• the performance gain for using OpenGL would be a waste, since it is not really needed
