Yep. While UIKit is going to draw using OpenGL anyway with this case you're missing a big optimisation in being able do batch drawing of the tiles and using VBO's etc. UIKit is fantastic for normal UI's and the 'general case' but almost certainly isnt optimised for doing efficient drawing of a large number of sprites / tiles (trading efficiency for flexibility). Couple years ago I actually wrote my own API compatible version of UIKit but backed by OpenGL , and then extended support for these type of cases. As it was basically a drop in replacement I was able to confirm UIKit (at least at the time) was not very clever or fast when it came to a large view hierarchy. So my fraemwork was optimising for large batch drawing from a single texture mostly which is what you really want in the OP's case. I should release it one day as open source.. though is all OpenGL 1 so a little outdated on iOS these days. |

You definitely should! :-D
You can worry about porting/updating it later. You might even get help in doing so, once you open-source it.
