not sure if this is a 2D or 3D question, but I'm wondering how to make sprites navigate & interact w terrains (the Terrain documentation I've found is pretty "Dark")

Mind expanding a bit on what you're looking for exactly?

If by "Terrain" you mean the actual Terrain objects that are built-in to DBPro, then yes, those are for 3D objects, not 2D sprites (although there's nothing stopping you from using 3D planes to represent sprites in a 3D world).

If you just mean a 2D terrain in general, then that all just depends on how you implement it! One way would be a simple array that stores the height of the terrain at any given 'x' position, that is perfect for 2D games, as long as you're not planning to have any "tunnels" or areas where things can appear under the terrain.
