Hi there, I’m making a 2D card game where i want the cards to be able to be flipped over and have a separate or unique back sprite like the back of cards, I just don’t know how to do this.Any suggestions are solutions would be great.

Here’s three possible ideas:

  • put a back sprite on and turn on and off the front / back as it flips
  • replace the entire card with a “card back,” keeping track of the front card too
  • swap out just the texture / sprite

There’s an infinite number of additional ways to go. Start with any one of the ten billion Youtube tutorials on making card games.

This process works well when you are starting out: do one tiny thing at a time, building on all the previous things.

If I were you I would just fake it. You’re not really flipping a card, you’re just showing another 2D object. Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsC9DiOZlVI&t=220s it’s done rather well.
