Is this game 2d or 3d? In other words (but maybe not really the same question) - can you create this game using a 2d physics engine such as box2d or would it require an engine dedicated to 3d?
And do you think that it uses openGL to generate all the boxes?
Thanks!
From the images it looks like a simple 2d game logic, just show in 3d.
Yup, some might call it 2.5d. There is no real 3D concepts in this game.
Which must mean that it is doable with a 2d physics engine, right?
Oh no, I am terrible at interpreting smileys… Are those happy smileys a replacement of a yes? But well, of course, I assume that it is doable with a 2d physics engine when the game is 2d… haha
Yes, we are a 2d and some 3d game engine.
Oh but what about the openGL part? :))) What would you asses it to be - generated completely using openGL or simply imported images?
Cocos2d-x uses OpenGL under the hood. We are built on top of it, you might say.
The game you want to make could be done using OpenGL completely. I think it would take more time and be harder to debug.
