What are the differences between 2D and 3D collision handling in games?

In 2D collision handling, we typically use simpler shapes like rectangles and circles, while 3D collision handling involves more complex shapes and calculations.

Can you explain how physics engines handle these collisions?

Sure! Physics engines use algorithms to detect and respond to collisions. In 2D, they might use bounding box checks, while in 3D, they often use raycasting and mesh collision detection.

Which one is more computationally expensive?

3D collision handling is generally more computationally expensive due to the complexity of the calculations involved with three-dimensional shapes.

Are there any specific games that illustrate these differences well?

Yes! Games like 'Super Mario Bros.' showcase 2D collision handling, while 'Fortnite' demonstrates advanced 3D collision techniques.
