Games Best practices for simple non-physical game?

[ivan.tellez]

Hi

I want to make a simple game, some pictures drawed in a grid that change when clicked, like tic tac toe but in a bigger grid, looks like the X2 is an overkill to this.

Is there an example for a game like this?

Thanks

Do you mean something like a memory game?

yes that is correct, not for every game it is recommended to use complex game engine especially not for a game like you want to make.

kind of, each tap change the state (and image) of each cell (card)

Yes, it looks ok.

To ilan, why use 2 canvases instead of one? why you draw so many yellow squares instead of only 2 rectangles?

To @ilan, why use 2 canvases instead of one?

in this case it is not so important but it is a good practice to draw only the stuff you wanna draw. the background (number table) is never changing so there is no reason to draw it 60 times per second so I draw it on a background canvas only once.

why you draw so many yellow squares instead of only 2 rectangles?

drawing each rectangle gives me more control and I can do many things like drawing each rectangle with a different alpha value or color you can of course draw only 2 rectangle so it is up to you what you wanna do.

Great, thaks.

By the way, I just realized that the talbe is part of the Simple Math app, CAn you share what do you use for the buttons in the menu?

CAn you share what do you use for the buttons in the menu?

a panel that contains several views in it. so nothing special just design.
