3D阵列还是动态2D阵列？

Question

I'm developing a shogi (shogi is a Japanese variant of chess) application. Once a piece is taken, I want it to move to a separate part of the screen, but not on the board.

I was wondering whether it would be best to a 3D array (one element would store the type, the other would be the location of the piece and the third would store the amount of that piece type);

The other option is a dynamic 2D array, to store the piece type and location, then keep the same types of pieces close together.

Which would be best for an Android application?

Answer 1

this is not really an android-related question ,but more of a game design question .

anyway ,if it's similar to chess , how about have a 2d array of pieces , each has its own properties : piece type and player owning the piece ?
