I really don't know...I think if you were to make a game, 3D would be faster(at least for me,lol).Nah seriously, i think 3D's easier.

Your knowledge of DB is what decides. .
I think 3d is easier, but that is me.

3D is certainly easier in DB. And with alot of sprites it gets a bit slow. Even a 2D game you can better make it in 3D. With plaines...

Yeah I just wondered. I'm actually having trouble with 2D and I thought that 3D would be easier. Thanks for the replies.

3D is easier. Example: 3D can move a camera withough moving objects, or slowing down. 2D Requires you to move everything on screen to simulate a camera. So basically 3D is easier. And it's easier to learn too (well in my opinion, I had lots of trouble making a 2D games at first. Yet, when I started learning 3D, I had quite an easy time!)

At first glance, I'm a mediocre mech pilot. Look again and you will see my battlemech's computer code rushing through my eyes. My Mech And I Are One!

Yeah I think I may be like you NWC Omega. Basically I just want to make up a 2D or 3D fighting game first. I already have ideas for the game and at first I wanted it to be 2D but of course problems arose and now I just wanted to see what was easier before I actually started anything.

I think 3d is the easier
when you understand well the 3d, you can start the 2d

Show I should have started with 3D huh? Ok I think I'll lay off 2D for a while and go ahead with 3D. Thanks for helping me with the decision everyone.

Later

3D is easier. I tried to make a retro game and hated the way 2D was built. Started on my 3D project. Hell of a lot easier!

Yeah, the only problem I'm having with 3D is the occasional problem that occurs with the collision commands, which slows my computer down to .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 *two days later*00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 FPS

Wouldn't 2D be easier as you only have to worry about coding for X and Y axis on the screen unlike 3D where you have to worry about X,Y,Z,Camera angles etc.

As a novice I guess I don't realy know but I started on 2D, hey maybe Im going about it all wrong.

Here is my physcopathic opinion:

3D Generally is harder than 2 dimensions.
Because 3D has 3 dimensions there is a lot of formatting to take notice of, when corrdinates come in threes instead of twos, like:
camera angley#=(34,32,01)
Instead of:
position image(1) 23,24
*These are examples and the commands may not exist in DB*

I am new to collision detection also, because I am working on a 3d snowy scene. Its fairly simple there are no objectives as such, all you do is explore and enjoy the snow. This is meant to be a screensaver or something. But back to the point: I am failing to make this game good because I think 3d is hard and collision detection is being a pain in the ass. Literally.

If you have the same problems in 3d and decide to make something 2D instead I would advise that you use Blitz Basic as that program takes less complex commands to get the same result.

Remember: You were born to game, not to be milked.
