How to Use Box2D Physics | Coding a 2D Game Engine in Java #48
Join the Discord: / discord
In this episode I go over various improvements to our physics abstraction over Box2D. This involves creating a callback method for collisions and game objects on the component level. There are 4 events that you can recieve information about, including beginCollision, endCollision, preSolve, and postSolve. I also go over how to implement raycasting using Box2D, creating sensors using Box2D, and a few more physics abstractions. Lastly, I improve the editor a bit more from the last episode by adding multi-select object highlighting, and allowing the user to click and drag and only place one object in each grid square.
