love.physics.newPrismaticJoint Creates a PrismaticJoint between two bodies. A prismatic joint constrains two bodies to move relatively to each other on a specified axis. It does not allow for relative rotation. Its definition and operation are similar to a revolute joint, but with translation and force substituted for angle and torque. Function Available since LÖVE 0.8.0 This variant is not supported in earlier versions. Synopsis joint = love.physics.newPrismaticJoint( body1, body2, x,

love.physics.newPolygonShape Creates a new PolygonShape. This shape can have 8 vertices at most, and must form a convex shape. Function Available since LÖVE 0.8.0 This variant is not supported in earlier versions. Synopsis shape = love.physics.newPolygonShape( x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, ... ) Arguments number x1 The x position of the first point. number y1 The y position of the first point. number x2 The x position of the second point. number y2 The y position of the second point. number

love.physics.newMouseJoint Create a joint between a body and the mouse. This joint actually connects the body to a fixed point in the world. To make it follow the mouse, the fixed point must be updated every timestep (example below). The advantage of using a MouseJoint instead of just changing a body position directly is that collisions and reactions to other joints are handled by the physics engine. Function Synopsis joint = love.physics.newMouseJoint( body, x, y ) Arguments Body body The

love.physics.newMotorJoint Available since LÖVE 0.9.0 This function is not supported in earlier versions. Creates a joint between two bodies which controls the relative motion between them. Position and rotation offsets can be specified once the MotorJoint has been created, as well as the maximum motor force and torque that will be be applied to reach the target offsets. Function Synopsis joint = love.physics.newMotorJoint( body1, body2, correctionFactor ) Arguments Body body1 The first

love.physics.newGearJoint Create a GearJoint connecting two Joints. The gear joint connects two joints that must be either prismatic or revolute joints. Using this joint requires that the joints it uses connect their respective bodies to the ground and have the ground as the first body. When destroying the bodies and joints you must make sure you destroy the gear joint before the other joints. The gear joint has a ratio the determines how the angular or distance values of the connected join

love.physics.newFrictionJoint Available since LÖVE 0.8.0 This function is not supported in earlier versions. Create a friction joint between two bodies. A FrictionJoint applies friction to a body. Function Synopsis joint = love.physics.newFrictionJoint( body1, body2, x, y, collideConnected ) Arguments Body body1 The first body to attach to the joint. Body body2 The second body to attach to the joint. number x The x position of the anchor point. number y The y position of the anchor poi

love.physics.newFixture Available since LÖVE 0.8.0 This function is not supported in earlier versions. Creates and attaches a Fixture to a body. Note that the Shape object is copied rather than kept as a reference when the Fixture is created. To get the Shape object that the Fixture owns, use Fixture:getShape. Function Synopsis fixture = love.physics.newFixture( body, shape, density ) Arguments Body body The body which gets the fixture attached. Shape shape The shape to be copied to the

love.physics.newEdgeShape Available since LÖVE 0.8.0 This function is not supported in earlier versions. Creates a new EdgeShape. Function Synopsis shape = love.physics.newEdgeShape( x1, y1, x2, y2 ) Arguments number x1 The x position of the first point. number y1 The y position of the first point. number x2 The x position of the second point. number y2 The y position of the second point. Returns EdgeShape shape The new shape. See Also love.physics EdgeShape Shape

love.physics.newDistanceJoint Creates a DistanceJoint between two bodies. This joint constrains the distance between two points on two bodies to be constant. These two points are specified in world coordinates and the two bodies are assumed to be in place when this joint is created. The first anchor point is connected to the first body and the second to the second body, and the points define the length of the distance joint. Function Available since LÖVE 0.8.0 This variant is not supporte

love.physics.newCircleShape Script Example Missing love.physics.newCircleShape needs a script example, help out by writing one. Creates a new CircleShape. Function Available since LÖVE 0.8.0 These variants are not supported in earlier versions. Synopsis shape = love.physics.newCircleShape( radius ) Arguments number radius The radius of the circle. Returns CircleShape shape The new shape. Function Synopsis shape = love.physics.newCircleShape( x, y, radius ) Arguments number x The
