Creating polygonal physics bodies

Saturday, May 12th, 2012 at 11:11 am

First display an object :

local triangle = display.newImage("triangle.png")

triangle.x = 200

triangle.y = 150

local triangle = display.newImage("triangle.png")

triangle.x = 200

triangle.y = 150

Then, define the shape of the body :

triangleShape = { 0,-35, 37,30, -37,30 }

--Note : These polygon coordinates must be defined in clockwise order.

triangleShape = { 0,-35, 37,30, -37,30 }

--Note : These polygon coordinates must be defined in clockwise order.

Add physics to the body and specify the shape :

physics.addBody( triangle, { density=1.6, friction=0.5, bounce=0.2, shape=triangleShape } )

1	physics.addBody( triangle, { density=1.6, friction=0.5, bounce=0.2, shape=triangleShape } )
