He conducts technical workshops for engineering students at professional colleges as a part of open source initiatives. He is an active figure in social media and game development SIGs, and never misses a chance to speak at technical conferences and barcamps.

Also for creating a body we first create a BodyDef object which store properties like position,angle and use it to create a body as shown below.2 Starling Game Development Essentials Develop and deploy isometric turn-based games using Starling Juwal Bose BIRMINGHAM - MUMBAIģ Starling Game Development Essentials Copyright 2013 Packt Publishing All rights reserved. static final float WORLD_TO_BOX=0.01f įor creating a body we need to have reference to the World object. So we create constants to convert all the pixel units to physics one and vice versa. Fixture is the physical shape which is attached to the body to give it properties like mass, friction, restitution etc.įirstly box was made with MKS (Metre, Kg, Second) units in mind, so it is not the best practice to have 1pixel equivalent to 1m in box2d. Body is an invisible part which has information like position,velocity,angle etc. In box2d there are two parts of a physics objects -> a body and a fixture. Here we used negative y value for gravity because in libgdx the y coordinate value decreases as we go down the screen. World world=new World(new Vector2(0,-20),true) AllowSleep is usually set to true as it saves computations when objects in the game are stationary and not having any collisions, so usually we set it to true. You can also give a horizontal force (like a wind) if need arises. Gravity as the name suggests is to give a gravitational force to all the objects in the world. The syntax for world requires to give two arguments -> Vector2 Gravity and Boolean allowSleep. In box2d all the objects exist in a world which has to be created before the objects. There are many ways to use box2d in your game and the following method is one of the many methods you can use.
For more information regarding Box2d you can check their site Box2D where they also have a documentation which covers mostly everything you would require to make an awesome physics game. Box2d is awesome in handling all the physics and gives realistic results.

In our recently released Android Game – Balloon Shooter we used Box2d for all the physics. Over the course of the next few weeks we would be covering the topic of using Box2d for physics in your libgdx app/game.
