If there's one advantage that games have over other mediums, it's their ability to have the participant not just witness someone else's doings—but to put them in the middle of said doings.

Week 3 was focused on getting textures into the render engine, making a camera so the user can move around the scene, and the creation of a new mesh class that takes advantage of the VBO and EBO classes.

SpriteRenderer is for 3D space…the Docs say this. SpriteRenderer : 2D rendering component that provides the ability to render sprite in 3D space. The 2D games works really different than Unity. This is actually more similar to Godot. Ok now the Sorting order for 2D games works with Order on the hierarchy. I try to use the Sorting Order component nothing changes.

Hello everyone. How do I sort my sprites into layers? I read about the sorting component, but I have prefabs that have a lot of nodes, I will have to add this component to all these nodes. If I want to change the layer, I change it again on all nodes. In Unity, you just needed to change the position of the parent object along the z axis to achieve the same effect.

In short yes. 3D games are more similar but 2D games are not like Unity. From what I understand the SpriteRenderer you should use it when you have a 3D world but you want to show 2D sprites.

Frank Lantz recently interviewed me on Donkeyspace , his excellent Substack, which generally focuses on the current AI boom but, in reality, is about his ongoing work on the human condition. As my responses would be of interest to readers here, I’ve reposted the interview below. Is there a competitive scene for Civ , with tournaments, ranking, etc?
