love.physics.newBody
love.physics.newBody
Creates a new body.
There are three types of bodies.
- Static bodies do not move, have a infinite mass, and can be used for level boundaries.
- Dynamic bodies are the main actors in the simulation, they collide with everything.
- Kinematic bodies do not react to forces and only collide with dynamic bodies.
The mass of the body gets calculated when a Fixture is attached or removed, but can be changed at any time with Body:setMass or Body:resetMassData.
