I'm new to cocoa, and I'd need a pointer to get started learning and

What would be the most adequate graphics cocoa API to render a 2D
game? core graphics or opengl? The requirements would be a
relatively smooth frame rate rendering, and the possibility to draw
and render sharp pixels. From what I read Quartz has a vector
drawing engine, but also allows to render bitmap data. Is it
possible to control Quartz to draw non-anti-aliased bitmaps? Lastly,
but not less importantly, it should not ask too much from the
processor, mostly to avoid draining the battery on the go.
(In case that matters, the end platform would be ... a significantly
less powerful machine than a latest standard mac desktop.)
OpenGL (ES in your case), hands down.
Join the Mac Game Developers list and ask away.
