What is 2D Game Development?
What does '2D Game Development' mean?
Support for two-dimensional games covers the tooling that flat, sprite-based projects need: sprite and tilemap editors, 2D physics and collision, sprite sheet animation, parallax layers, and orthographic cameras. It is a distinct pipeline from 3D work, and engines differ in how completely they provide it rather than emulating 2D inside a 3D scene.
