Re: Predicting path of a body/shape

Actually with the constant time step the collisions seem to be consistent. Going to give the simulation a try w/ that :)

Re: Predicting path of a body/shape

I guess I'm not sure, I was just going off of what ivan said earlier.

Re: Predicting path of a body/shape

I'm not exactly sure what to take from that link. Is it recommending the use of a constant time step value instead of using what's supplied to love.update? I'm not using any kind of gravity in my test. The only other thing I can figure is that because I'm using the timestep supplied from love.update...

Re: Predicting path of a body/shape

So that would basically be the 2-worlds approach right? I'm definitely leaning towards the "simulation" using box2d instead of trying to calculate/predict what box2d will do because even when I offset my calculations for the ball hitting earlier it doesn't seem to hit the lines as I'd expe...

Re: Predicting path of a body/shape

I'm not quite sure I follow. Would I basically have 2 duplicate worlds, but per love.update, I would run the "simulation" world's update method x number of times until I gather enough pathing data?

Re: Predicting path of a body/shape

Ok that makes sense, thanks! I was almost to the same conclusion :oops: I'm making a pool (billiards) game where I draw some "guide" lines to help show the path of the cue ball (off walls primarily) up until contact with other balls to help line up shots. More than anything, I'm using it a...

Predicting path of a body/shape

I'm trying to predict the path of a moving ball ahead of time, but am running into a variety of difficulties. The example program below helps demonstrate what I'm trying to simulate. Press spacebar to make the ball start moving. require 'rectangle' local world = love.physics.newWorld(0, 0, love.grap...

Re: how to constrain bodies to integer x/y coordinates

I'll give that a try, thanks.

how to constrain bodies to integer x/y coordinates

Is there an easy way to constrain a Body to whole-number coordinates? I'm making a pool game, and the balls often end up with coordinates like: (585.61932373047, 447.06735229492) When drawing with those coordinates, the image sprites are somewhat distorted because they are not whole numbers. I've tr...
