I graduated from college back in Dec, and am still unemployed so I'm looking for stuff to keep me entertained (and in practice). I don't want to do anything amazingly taxing, just something to get me back into programming to start another project. I also loathe being my own artist. So having said that, I'm planning on making a little pinball game, but not sure if this would be easier in 2D or 3D. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a ton!

If you are looking at 2D/3D in terms of graphics, then i don't think there's a different...

however if you are talking about physics, then certain 2D is a lot easlier

I'd probably do it in 2d. Everything in a pinball table happens on a single plane in most cases, which makes it easier (as the previous poster mentioned) to handle physics, as well as easier to handle graphics. You can have it look as 3d-ish as you like by rendering from a 3d program, or hand-draw your art, or whatever you like.

Cheers,
