Parallel projection
Main article: Alongside projection
Games utilizing alongside bang about accomplish use of two-dimensional bitmap cartoon as against to 3D-rendered triangle-based geometry, acceptance developers to actualize large, circuitous gameworlds calmly and with almost few art assets by adding the art into sprites or tiles and reusing them again (though some amateur use a mix of altered techniques).
edit Top-down perspective
Top-down perspective, additionally sometimes referred to as bird's-eye view, aerial appearance or helicopter view, back acclimated in video amateur refers to a camera bend that shows the amateur and the breadth about them from above. While not absolute to video amateur that advance alongside projection, it was at one time accepted in 2D role arena video games, wargames and architecture and administration simulation amateur such as SimCity, Pokémon, and Railroad Tycoon, as able-bodied as in activity and action-adventure amateur such as the aboriginal The Legend of Zelda and Grand Theft Auto games.
edit Side-scrolling game
Main article: Side-scrolling video game
A side-scrolling bold or side-scroller is a video bold in which the angle is taken from the side, and the onscreen characters about move from the larboard ancillary of the awning to the right. Amateur of this blazon accomplish use of scrolling computer affectation technology, and sometimes parallax scrolling to advance added depth.
In abounding amateur the awning follows the amateur appearance such that the amateur appearance is consistently positioned abreast the centermost of the screen. In added amateur the position of the awning will change according to the amateur character's movement, such that the amateur appearance is askance and added amplitude is apparent in advanced of the appearance than behind. Sometimes, the awning will annal not alone advanced in the acceleration and administration of the amateur character's movement, but additionally backwards to ahead visited genitalia of a stage. In added amateur or stages, the awning will alone annal forwards, not backwards, so that already a date has been anesthetized it can no best be visited. In amateur such as shoot 'em ups like R-type, the awning scrolls advanced by itself at a abiding rate, and the amateur charge accumulate up with the screen, attempting to abstain obstacles and aggregate things afore they canyon off screen.
Examples of side-scrolling amateur accommodate belvedere amateur such as Sonic the Hedgehog, exhausted 'em ups such as the accepted Double Dragon and Battletoads, and shooters such as R-type and (more recently) Jets'n'Guns. The Super Mario Bros. alternation has acclimated all three types of side-scrolling at some time in its history.
edit 2.5D, 3/4 perspective, and pseudo-3D
Main article: 2.5D
See also: Isometric cartoon in video amateur and Parallax scrolling
Axonometric bang in Fallout 2 (1999).
2.5D ("two-and-a-half-dimensional"), 3/4 bend and pseudo-3D are breezy agreement acclimated to call graphical projections and techniques that try to "fake" three-dimensionality, about by application some anatomy of alongside projection, wherein the point of appearance is from a anchored perspective, but additionally reveals assorted facets of an object. Examples of pseudo-3D techniques accommodate isometric/axonometric projection, angled projection, orthographic projection, billboarding, parallax scrolling, scaling, skyboxes, and skydomes. In addition, 3D graphical techniques such as bang mapping and parallax mapping are generally acclimated to extend the apparition of three-dimensionality after essentially accretion the consistent computational aerial alien by accretion the polygon count.
The agreement sometimes acquire a additional meaning, wherein the gameplay in an contrarily 3D bold is forcibly belted to a two-dimensional plane.
Examples of amateur that accomplish use of pseudo-3D techniques accommodate Zaxxon, The Sims and Diablo (isometric/axonometric projection); Ultima VII and Paperboy (oblique projection); Sonic the Hedgehog and Street Fighter II (parallax scrolling); Fonz and Amplitude Harrier (scaling); and Half-Life 2 (skyboxes). In accession to axonometric projection, amateur such as The Sims and Final Fantasy Tactics additionally accomplish use of a aggregate of pre-drawn 2D sprites and real-time polygonal cartoon instead of relying absolutely on 2D sprites as is the norm.
