A Simple Question about 3d Sphere and 8 Ball pool ?

8 Ball Pool

I am beginner in unity and I am creating a very simple game similar to above one. I have some questions which if you answer will be very helpful.

  1. Is this game Implemented in 3D or 2D?

  2. Can we Implement in 2D , How ? I am creating a 3d sphere in 2d and it falls downs and I don’t know how to create a plane in 2d which can hold sphere or other 3d objects? If you can suggest any tutorial or resources that would be helpful?

I am able to create plane and sphere in 3d but I am confused how to do that in 2d?

Thanks

That game is 2d, 100%. If you use a 3d sphere for a ball it will not collide with 2d planes. 3d and 2d can not collide or interact with each other. To make the game like the one from the pic, it is all 2d, you use sprites for the balls and animation to make it look like it’s rolling. The ball doesn’t have to fall down the hole, you just have collider with isTrigger on where the hole is, when the ball collides with the hole you disable the ball.
