2D Flash Games For Oculus Rift
I'm not very familiar with making games in 3D, but I have used Macromedia/Adobe Flash for quite some time now, which is used to make 2D animations and games. So I'd like to see if you can create somet...
If you do build a 2D game, it would not be a completely dumb idea, but..
You will need to bulge the screens on each side of the view plane, and render the content on each side.
You can adjust the displacement of the shapes, with 0 displacement appearing far away and, some maximum displacement appearing close to the eye. It should produce an effect of flat objects at varying distances (Similar to most of the effects coming out of 3D movies).
Those effects would make the 2D game interesting playable. The absence of those effects would not fully utilize th capabilities of the rift.
You are better going for something like a 3D side-scrolling or 2 1/2 D game.
