Well seeing as width wouldn't even exist in a 2-dimensional world...

[Max White]

That assumses that sight worked exactly the same.

Also if sight DID work exactly the same you would be completely blind. As simply speaking... The line is perfectly 2d. Unless you had the ability to see it at an angle (3d) it would be perfectly invisible.

Isn't that like saying that in 3d we should all be blind, because we all have a width of 0 in the fourth dimension. Your not thinking in 2d bro.

The problem with 2d living beings is that their digestive track would effectively slice them in half. I guess it would work if they ate food, digested it, then threw it back up again though.

The discussion is moot. Terraria isn't 2D because you can go in front of other things. Back walls, for example. That isn't possible on a 2D plane.

On the contrary. Every game you play is 2D, since you play them on a plane, though I suppose it'd be more of 2.5D, since you are correct in that things shouldn't move through other things if you were solid. However, you could just assume that the object in question no longer exists while you are blocking it. Either that, or you are ethereal, and therefore are capable of moving through objects.

But really, this discussion is stupid. I built a flying castle. Does anyone really care about how it flies? I don't. All I know is that it does.

the depiction of 2-dimensional beings I have seen pretty much reduces them all to single cell organisms.

They can simply have tracts that actively push food through, splitting apart and rejoining as it passes.

[forsaken1111]

I am reminded of Flatland, which handled the nature of 2D life very well and quietly poked fun at us for believing that there is nothing beyond our own 3D existence.

[ECrownofFire]

Amoebae-like creatures would be perfectly fine in a 2D world I guess.

But forget all of it, maybe the world is 3D, but your character just has a perspective from outside his own body?

Ah, sorry. Regidit posted that in the forum yesterday so I didn't check the posts earlier than 11 October

[Urist Imiknorris]

I want to fight an eternal boss rush of corruptors.

[SirAaronIII]

So, I'm planning on building this little module of blue brick. Should I use blue brick wall (luckily i have both on my singleplayer world) or gray brick or obsidian brick?

[Urist Imiknorris]

I'd say obsidian, but that's just because I like obsidian.
