How to make a 2D game?

[kornerr]

I need to make a small 2D game. So I don't need iGraphics3D. But how will I create iView? It needs csView which is initialized with iObjectRegistry and iGraphics3D.
Thanks.

If you are going to do 2D graphics then why do you need an iView?

How will I see anything without camera?

The camera and view are only needed for 3D applications. For 2D you don't need that. What exactly do you want to do? What kind of 2D graphics.

The easiest way for you to make this is using CEL and the billboard manager. In CEL there is an example boulderbash game (made with XML but you can do this in C++ too). With CS this is also possible but you most certainly don't need a camera or view (as those are 3D only). The way to do 2D is to manually create your meshes and draw them using DrawSimpleMesh. This is a bit complicated so the billboard manager in CEL makes this a lot easier.
