Week 7: Analysis of Project Model

Posting this a bit late, but I spent much of last week considering different ways of representing data for my application. The ipad/iphone devices often have rigid memory constraints, and speed and efficiency is definitely important in making the best experience possible.
My program will most likely involve a maze setup. The maze has obstacles, which I have not decided will be whole objects or the combination of single squares. Currently experimenting with Core Graphics, making rectangles and such with triangles and vertice information. Researching the way objects are drawn as well, having curved objects is desired. Will most likely have to use OpenGL ES later, but it won't affect things until I have settled on a data model.
Regarding the accelerometer, I have only vague ideas of its working. I will attempt to gain a better understanding Week 8, perhaps make a small program to improve my knowledge.
