Here's a little surprise: we'll continue to stay in 2D, for the most part. All of our objects will have
3D bounds in the form of bounding spheres and positions in 3D space. However, movement will
only happen in the x-z plane, which makes certain things a little easier. Figure

shows the
adapted 3D Space Invaders world. The mock-up was created with Wings3D.
