... I spent 2 hours trying to nut out my failed vector math only to discover I didn't convert to radians.

You?

Google search shows:

- Lovetest - 2013
- Busted (seems to be not Love2d)
- Telescope (not Love2d)
- Cute (10 months old - which is pretty recent!)

And a half dozen forum threads with 'roll your own'.

Cute seems to be the most recent + most relevant so - is that the way to go?

Thanks.

Does anyone know how you have a body move around and react to applyforce but turn collisions off? I set isactive = false but then it wouldn't move. I'd like the body to retain its Newtonian movement b but to also pass through other bodies.

Just celebrating my game is functional. Not pretty, but functional.

In just over a week Love2d has allowed me to make a playable concept of a sports field full of bodies moving around and reacting via Newtonian physics.

Appreciate the tips. Onwards and upwards.

That's great. I find it odd that a real example on the whole internet found nothing.

Are tables of bodies such a rare and unique thing?

Anyway, your code has pointed me in the right direction. Thanks!

In this tutorial: https://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Physics https://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Physics A ball is created and it bounce. Cool. Get it. Seems easy. How would I modify the code to have two balls in a table so I can spawn them in a FOR loop, update them in a FOR loop and DRAW them in a FOR ...

Thanks. I think I need to apply force to the AI and apply impulse to the puck.

I think at this point I need to stop reading and experiment. Thanks.

I'm quite comfortable with the math and vectors and angular velocities for determining who needs to move where. I already have four love.graphic.draw.circles chasing each other around the screen as an exercise. These are driven with a class I made up called 'hockeyplayer'. I guess i was asking if sh...

So I'm thinking out loud, remembering this is day 2 in my Love2D journey, that I want a bunch of physics bodies. These are AI. They have their own mind/will/actions and will execute those 'normal' movements with Body:applyLinearImpulse and let the physics engine deal with collisions and rebounds etc...

I'm still reading lots. Can anyone suggest if I can or should use the different physics libraries? I'll have hockey players voicing of each other and the wall and whilst subjected to force and momentum they will have 'free' will to influence their movement and the game. I'm currently setting up clas...
