Question by Nova-1504 · Oct 21, 2016 at 07:13 PM · 2d2d-platformerspritesplatforms

2d platformer

This might seem like a stupid question, but how do I make platforms in a 2d platformer? do I use 3d objects or sprites? And how do I do either?

You can use either. All you need is a collider attached to a gameobject. You can use a 2D collider on a 3D mesh for example.

Hi you can make platforms in 2D by creating a empty gameobjcet and adding a box collider(2D) and a sprite renderer. And remember to add a collider(2D) to the player too.

Hope it helps.
