I want to make a poker game. Accordnig to the user interface , i consider using coreanimation + native uiviewcontroller. My colleague recommand using sprite kit. After reading sprite kit tutorial， i can't find the advantage of sprite. Most of the animation can be finished by core animation. So can anyone explain what's the difference between them. Thank you!

core graphics is more general purpose i heard in gaming. but if you want to build a high performance game then spritekit because it is built on top of metal (in WWDC 2022 apple release new Metal 3 which is faster).
Compare to core animation it is far easier to use animations and actions in sprite kit.
Also sprite kit has batter performance for many many animations happening simultaneously, core animation could be good option for games like 2048 which uses few animations i think.
i have created this ludo like game in sprite kit : https://appadvice.com/app/parchis-star-real-ludo/1495213569
