18.9. The Physics2DDevice Object¶

Provides rigid body physics, optimized for Javascript.

The Physics2DDevice object can be used to create the following objects:

Rigid bodies: dynamic, static or kinematic.
Shapes: polygon, circle.
Vertex factories: rectangle, aligned box, regular polygon.
Constraints: point to point, distance, weld, angle, motor, line, pulley, user constraint.
World.
Broadphases: 1-axis sweep and prune, box tree broadphase.
CollisionUtils.
Debug Draw.

Physics2D uses SI units of meters (m), radians (rad), seconds (s), kilograms (kg) and Newtons (N). Physics2D coordinates have y-axis pointing down.

Physics parameters are tuned for objects in size ranging down to an absolute minimum of 0.001m = 1mm. Objects smaller than this will not behave correctly due to contact slop and thresholds in continuous collision detection routines. At the same time, for stability reasons there is a permitted slop in positional contacts of 0.01m = 1cm so that whilst objects down to 1mm are acceptible, objects this small will not interact together properly. You should try to keep objects at least 1cm big.

A suggestion if your game operates in pixels (px) is to use a scaling factor of roughly 60px for every 1m.

Required scripts

The Physics2DDevice object requires:

/*{{ javascript("jslib/physics2ddevice.js") }}*/
/*{{ javascript("jslib/boxtree.js") }}*/

18.9.1. Methods¶

18.9.1.1. createWorld¶

Summary

Create a World object to which rigid bodies and constraints can be added. Rigid bodies and constants can only be added to a single World at any given time.

Syntax

var world = phys2D.createWorld({
    broadphase : broadphaseObject,
    gravity : [0, 10],
    velocityIterations : 8,
    positionIterations : 8,
});

broadphase (Optional)

Supply a Broadphase object to be used by this World.

If unspecified, then a BoxTree broadphase as created using phys2D.createBoxTreeBroadphase() will be used.

gravity (Optional)

The direction and magnitude of global acceleration due to gravity, applied to all dynamic bodies per update.

Defaults to [0, 10].

velocityIterations (Optional)

The number of physics iterations to use when solving errors in velocity constraints. This value must be positive, and is largely responsible for the stability of the physics.

Defaults to 8.

positionIterations (Optional)

The number of physics iterations to use when solving errors in position constraints. This value must be positive and is responsible for solving errors in contact penetrations and stiff constraints.

Defaults to 8.

18.9.1.2. createSweepAndPruneBroadphase¶

Summary

Create a Broadphase object built using a 1-axis Sweep and Prune approach in the x-axis direction.

Syntax

var broadphase = phys2D.createSweepAndPruneBroadphase();

18.9.1.3. createBoxTreeBroadphase¶

Summary

Create a Broadphase object built using a pair of BoxTree objects separating static/sleeping bodies from active bodies. This is a more generally performant broadphase than the 1-axis Sweep and Prune.

Syntax

var broadphase = phys2D.createBoxTreeBroadphase();

18.9.1.4. createRigidBody¶

Summary

Create a RigidBody object.

Syntax

phys2D.createRigidBody({
    type : 'dynamic',
    shapes : [],
    mass : 10,
    inertia : 20,
    sleeping : false,
    bullet : false,
    position : [0, 0],
    rotation : 0,
    velocity : [0, 0],
    angularVelocity : 0,
    force : [0, 0],
    torque : 0,
    linearDrag : 0.05,
    angularDrag : 0.05,
    surfaceVelocity : [0, 0],
    userData : null
});

type (Optional)

The type of Rigid Body to create. One of ‘static’, ‘dynamic’, ‘kinematic’.

Defaults to ‘dynamic’.

shapes (Optional)

The set of Shapes to assign to the Rigid Body. Shapes may not be shared between rigid bodies. Shapes of a static body may not be modified once the body has been assigned to a World object.

mass (Optional)

The mass in kg for this rigid body. This value must be strictly positive and has no effect on static and kinematic bodies which in terms of physics computations are assumed to have infinite mass. However if such a body should be transformed into a dynamic body at run-time, this value will still persist.

If unspecified, mass will be computed as per body.computeMassFromShapes().

inertia (Optional)

The moment of inertia in kg.m²/rad². This value must be strictly positive and has no effect on static and kinematic bodies which in terms of physics computations are assumed to have infinite inertia. However if such a body should be transformed into a dynamic body at run-time, this value will still persist.

If unspecified, inertia will be computed as per body.computeInertiaFromShapes().

sleeping (Optional)

Define if the body is to be created in a sleeping state. When added to a World object, the body will remain asleep until woken.

Defaults to false.

bullet (Optional)

Define if a dynamic body should collide continuously with other dynamic bodies. Continuous collision occur always between static/kinematic and dynamic bodies, but will occur between two dynamic bodies only if at least one of them is marked as a bullet.

Due to implementation details of continuous collisions, you are advised not to create groups of bodies that interact together as bullets which may lead to visual stalling.

position (Optional)

The position of the body’s origin in world coordinates. The position of a static body cannot be changed once it has been assigned to a World object, and modifications to this value equate to a teleportation of the body. kinematic bodies should be moved via manipulations of the body velocity.

Defaults to [0, 0].

rotation (Optional)

The rotation of the body in clockwise radians. The rotation of a static body cannot be changed once it has been assigned to a World object, and modifications to this value equate to a teleportation of the body. kinematic bodies should be rotated via manipulations of the body angularVelocity.

Defaults to 0.

velocity (Optional)

The linear velocity of the body in m/s. This parameter is ignored for static bodies which are not permitted to have a velocity.

Defaults to [0, 0].

angularVelocity (Optional)

The angular velocity of the body in rad/s. This parameter is ignored for static bodies which are not permitted to have a velocity.

Defaults to [0, 0].

force (Optional)

Force applied to the body at it’s origin for every update. As this is a force, and not an acceleration this property has no effect on static and kinematic bodies, or any dynamic body with infinite mass.

This force is persistent, and is not reset after world update.

Defaults to [0, 0].

torque (Optional)

Torque applied to the body at it’s origin for every update. As this is a torque, and not an acceleration this property has no effect on static and kinematic bodies, or any dynamic body with infinite inertia.

This torque is persistent, and is not reset after world update.

Defaults to [0, 0].

linearDrag (Optional)

The fraction of the linear velocity of a body which will be lost per second. This value must be >= 0. This property has no effect on static and kinematic bodies, or any dynamic body with infinite mass.

Defaults to 0.05.

angularDrag (Optional)

The fraction of the angular velocity of a body which will be lost per second. This value must be >= 0. This property has no effect on static and kinematic bodies, or any dynamic body with infinite inertia.

Defaults to 0.05.

surfaceVelocity (Optional)

An additional velocity in (m/s) used for contact physics and rotated to match the surface direction used to manipulate the effects of friction and normal reactions. Static objects may also be given a surface velocity.

For example one may create a conveyor belt that moves objects pushed against in a clockwise direction by supplying a surface velocity with positive x-component.

Defaults to [0, 0].

userData (Optional)

Field on which to store whatever information you may like.

staticFriction (Optional)

Coefficient of static friction for this material.

When the relative, tangential velocity of the two rigid bodies at contact point is near zero, static friction will be used.

This value must be >= 0 and should intuitively be greater than dynamicFriction. Values are combined in collision as Math.sqrt(friction1 * friction2).

Default value is 2.

dynamicFriction (Optional)

Coefficient of dynamic friction for this material.

Apart from the above scenario, dynamic friction is used between two rigid bodies.

This value must be >= 0 and should intuitively be greater than staticFriction. Values are combined in collision as Math.sqrt(friction1 * friction2).

When one of the colliding shapes is a Circle type, then rolling friction will be applied to the objects.

This value must be >= 0 and values are combined in collision as Math.sqrt(friction1 * friction2).

Default value is 0.005.

density (Optional)

Density of material in units of kg/m/m.

18.9.1.16. createDistanceConstraint¶

Summary

Create a DistanceConstraint object.

A Distance constraint constrains the distance between the anchor points of the two bodies to be locked to a given range of values.

lowerBound <= distance(worldAnchorA, worldAnchorB) <= upperBound

This constraint degenerates when the distance between anchors is 0.

To lock the distance at exactly 0 you will find much greater stability and accuracy by using the two-dimensional Point constraint instead.

Syntax

var constraint = phys2D.createDistanceConstraint({
    bodyA : firstRigidBody,
    bodyB : secondRigidBody,
    anchorA : [1, 0],
    anchorB : [1, 0]

Syntax

var constraint = phys2D.createLineConstraint({
    bodyA : firstRigidBody,
    bodyB : secondRigidBody,
    axis : [0, 1]
    anchorA : [1, 0],
    anchorB : [-1, 0],
    lowerBound : -1,
    upperBound : 1
    // ... + common Constraint parameters
});

bodyA

The first rigid body for the constraint.

bodyB

upperBound (Optional)

The upper bound in the constraint equation. This value must be >= lowerBound.

Default value is infinity.

To define the values for constraint bounds, anchorA and axis to match a given line segment defined locally to bodyA, you should create the constraint like:

var constraint = phys2D.createLineConstraint({
    axis : fromPoint - startPoint,
    anchorA : startPoint,
    lowerBound : 0,
    upperBound : length(fromPoint - startPoint)
    ...
});

This constraint would most often be used to implement (In conjunction with a Distance constraint) suspension on a vehicle. Using the line constraint to limit how the wheel moves in relation to the vehicle, and the distance constraint to supply dampening through elasticity.

18.9.1.18. createMotorConstraint¶

Summary

Create a MotorConstraint object.

A Motor constraint, is a velocity only constraint (Meaning that parameters like stiff, maxError, breakUnderError have no effect on a motor constraint). Which constrains the weighted difference of the angular velocities of two objects to be locked at a given value.

(bodyB.getAngularVelocity() * ratio) - bodyA.getAngularVelocity() === rate

Syntax

var constraint = phys2D.createMotorConstraint({
    bodyA : firstRigidBody,
    bodyB : secondRigidBody,
    ratio : 1,
    rate : 0
    // ... + common Constraint parameters
});

bodyA

The first rigid body for the constraint.

bodyB

The second rigid body for the constraint.

ratio

The ratio for the motor. For instance if the ratio were 2, then the first rigid body would be forced to rotate twice as fast as the second rigid body.

This value must be non-zero.

Default value is 1.

rate

The rate for the motor.

Default value is 0.

For common constructor parameters, see Constraint.

This constraint can also be used to implement a form of angular friction for a body by appropriately setting the maxForce parameter to limit the force that can be applied, and using a static body as the other body in constraint.

More usually, you would use this constraint to power some mechanism.

18.9.1.19. createPulleyConstraint¶

Summary

Create a PulleyConstraint object.

The Pulley constraint constrains the weighted sum of the distances between pairs of anchors (anchorA <-> anchorB) (anchorC <-> anchorD) to be locked to a given range of values.

lowerBound <= distance(worldAnchorA, worldAnchorB) + (ratio * distance(worldAnchorC, worldAnchorD)) <= upperBound

This constraint will partially degenerate when the distance of any one pair is 0 and it may be wise if this is able to occur, to create additional distance constraints for each separate pair to enforce that the length may not reach 0.

Syntax

var constraint = phys2D.createPulleyConstraint({
    bodyA : firstRigidBody
    bodyB : secondRigidBody,
    bodyC : thirdRigidBody,
    bodyD : fourthRigidBody,
    anchorA : [1, 0],
    anchorB : [-1, 0],
    anchorC : [1, 0],
    anchorD : [-1, 0],

The anchor point for the third body, defined in the local coordinate system of the rigid body.

Default value is the origin; [0, 0].

anchorD (Optional)

The anchor point for the fourth body, defined in the local coordinate system of the rigid body.

Default value is the origin; [0, 0].

ratio (Optional)

The ratio of the constraint. For instance if the ratio is 2, then the length between the first two anchors will change twice as fast as the length between the last two anchors.

This value must be non-zero.

Default value is 1.

lowerBound (Optional)

The lower bound in the constraint equation. This value must be <= upperBound.

Default value is 0.

upperBound (Optional)

The upper bound in the constraint equation. This value must be >= lowerBound.

Default value is 0.

For common constructor parameters, see Constraint.

18.9.1.20. createCustomConstraint¶

Summary

Create a CustomConstraint object.

At the most basic level for a standard positional constraint, you will provide methods to compute positional errors in constraint, and to compute the constraint jacobian and the rest of the mathematics and physics is performed by the API.

The CustomConstraint API has all parameters common with the other constraints, including being able to make the constraint non-stiff and limit the amount of force used.

Syntax

var constraint = phys2D.createCustomConstraint({
    dimension : 2,
    bodies : [bodyA, bodyB],
    position : function positionErrorFn(data, index)
        {

        },
    jacobian : function jacobianFn(data, index)
        {
            data[index]     = `jacobian term for x-velocity of first body, in first dimension`;
            data[index + 1] = `jacobian term for y-velocity of first body, in first dimension`;
            data[index + 2] = `jacobian term for angular velocity of first body, in first dimension`;
            data[index + 3] = `jacobian term for x-velocity of second body, in first dimension`;
            data[index + 4] = `jacobian term for y-velocity of second body, in first dimension`;
            data[index + 5] = `jacobian term for angular velocity of second body, in first dimension`;

            data[index + 9]  = `jacobian term for x-velocity of second body, in second dimension`;
            data[index + 10] = `jacobian term for y-velocity of second body, in second dimension`;
            data[index + 11] = `jacobian term for angular velocity of second body, in second dimension`;
        },
    positionConstants : function positionConstantsFn()
        {
            // Perform any useful computations whose results may be used in definition of
            // position and jacobian functions.
        },
    velocityClamp : function velocityClampFn(data, index)
        {
            // Clamp impulse values at
            //   data[index]     :: impulse in first dimension
            //   data[index + 1] :: impulse in second dimension
        },
    positionClamp : function positionClampFn(data, index)
        {
            // Clamp impulse values at
            //   data[index]     :: impulse in first dimension
            //   data[index + 1] :: impulse in second dimension
        },
    debugDraw : function debugDrawFn(debugDrawObject, stiff)
        {
            // Draw constraint information to debug object.
        }
    // + common Constraint constructor parameters.
});
