Detailed Description

A body definition holds all the data needed to construct a rigid body. You can safely re-use body definitions. Shapes are added to a body after construction.

Member Data Documentation

bool b2BodyDef::allowSleep

Set this flag to false if this body should never fall asleep. Note that this increases CPU usage.

float32 b2BodyDef::angularDamping

Angular damping is use to reduce the angular velocity. The damping parameter can be larger than 1.0f but the damping effect becomes sensitive to the time step when the damping parameter is large.

bool b2BodyDef::bullet

Is this a fast moving body that should be prevented from tunneling through other moving bodies? Note that all bodies are prevented from tunneling through kinematic and static bodies. This setting is only considered on dynamic bodies.

Warning
You should use this flag sparingly since it increases processing time.
float32 b2BodyDef::linearDamping

Linear damping is use to reduce the linear velocity. The damping parameter can be larger than 1.0f but the damping effect becomes sensitive to the time step when the damping parameter is large.

b2Vec2 b2BodyDef::position

The world position of the body. Avoid creating bodies at the origin since this can lead to many overlapping shapes.

b2BodyType b2BodyDef::type

The body type: static, kinematic, or dynamic. Note: if a dynamic body would have zero mass, the mass is set to one.
