Re: Pool(Billiards) physics (Need help)

This is already cooler than 90% of what you find in comercial pool games for old consoles. The problem here is that this kind of game is all about physics, you gotta have to nail it or else its garbage. So pool is not the smartest starting point to get into game dev. Anything with complex physics i...

Either go with simple AABB or use something in the middle such as Hardon Collider https://vrld.github.io/HardonCollider/tutorial.html or go the hard way with Love physics module https://love2d.org/wiki/love.physics. AABB should work well for simple games such as Space Invaders. But first: be specifi...

Re: Need some help guys!

Hello, I would really recommend you to start with basic 2D games instead of jumping into 3D, specifically since you don't have that experience.
