It is not, however what you can do with rigidbody3d is lock the physics movement and rotation on it. For example, if you only ever wanted it to move along the x and y axis of your game, in the inspector just tick the freeze z movement box for the...
Friction in SpriteKit
swift,sprite-kit,game-physics,skphysicsbody
Here's an example of how to move a sprite based on touch. This approach uses the velocity property of the physics body to move the sprite, so it will interact appropriately with other physics bodies in the scene and be affected by damping, friction, etc. First, define the scale and...
andEngine: Why the touch event doesn't work?
java,android,touch,andengine,game-physics
Ok so the problem was that in onPopulateScene() i did not put pOnPopulateSceneCallback.onPopulateSceneFinished();. Turns out that even if you define your scene and sprites in onCreateScene() it is still needed t put that in onPopulateScene(). Still I will keep in mind that I should not put 'this' in constructor (even...
I have an array of blasts and an array of zombies, how can I efficiently detect collisions?
You need to put the other iterator inside of the other iterator, try this: Iterator<Rectangle> zombieIter = zombies.iterator(); while(zombieIter.hasNext()) { Rectangle zombie = zombieIter.next(); zombie.x -= 150 * Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime(); Iterator<Rectangle> blastIter = blasts.iterator(); while(blastIter.hasNext()) { Rectangle blast = blastIter.next(); blast.x += 200 * Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime(); if(blast.x + 16 > 800) blastIter.remove();...

How to not allow kinematic physics bodies to pass through static bodies?
android,box2d,andengine,game-physics
As @LearnCocos2D stated, I should reset platform body to a legal position while it tries to leave the screen. For this, I should use setTransform method of Body class (as @iforce2d said). For dealing with setTransform, there is two important points. AndEngine uses top-left as anchor of sprites, but Box2d...

Slick2 / dyn4j render loop performance when iterating number of bodies

How do I move a Rigidbody towards target without adding force or velocity?
If I understand you correctly, you are looking to change the direction, but not the magnitude of your velocity vector. You can get the current magnitude in 3 dimensions using: double magnitude = Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(x, 2) + Math.Pow(y,2) + Math.Pow(z, 2)); you can then just multiply a unit vector that points...

SpriteKit score is acting randomly
ios,objective-c,sprite-kit,game-physics
In Box2D (the physics engine that SpriteKit uses internally) a single contact can produce multiple invocations of the related callback function. So your score value is being incremented several times because your method didBeginContact is called multiple times for the same contact. You can prevent this behavior in several ways....

Everytime I draw list item in SFML it crashes?
Your for loop is a bit strange here: for(std::list<sf::Sprite>::iterator it = laserList.begin(); it != laserList.end(); laserList;) You'll find that this will form an infinite loop as the value of it never changes. This may be what leads to your crash. To fix it you want to increment the iterator after...
Is this a physics bug with WheelCollider or am I doing something wrong?
Without really digging into it, my initial impression is that your WheelCollider friction values are probably too low. Increasing the forward friction will probably help with your inconsistent acceleration and the sideways friction will probably address your steering issue.
Movement of sprite using fixed time step

Is smooth slow motion physics possible with SpriteKit?

The simple solution (provided that this behavior is normal and not caused by, for instance, updating the ball's position manually or via a move action) would be to design the game/physics so speed 1.0 represents the slowest game speed, while at "normal" speed the speed property might be, say, 4.0.

Since you are using physics you can use the resting property of SKPhysicsBody. if sprite.physicsBody?.resting == true { println("The sprite is resting") } else { println("The sprite is moving") } Hope this helps....
Arduino Esplora Pong Game
So following @PaulOgilvie's idea I fixed the problem with the following code: if (BPY >= 160 || BPY <= 0) {//Goal Detection if (BPY >= 160) { playerScore = playerScore + 1; } else { computerScore = computerScore + 1; } DrawCourt(0); EsploraTFT.fillCircle(BPX, BPY, 7, ST7735_BLACK); EsploraTFT.fillRect(computerPaddle, 154, 32, 3,...
how to make a div stay in a div
html,css,css-position,game-physics
position:relative means relative to itself not parents/children etc. It seems likely that you want relative on the parent and possibly absolute on the children. Without code, it's hard to help much further Here's a quick demo for you. .container { width: 80%; height: 250px; margin: 0 auto; position: relative; border:...
Set the maximum and current speed of a car in Phaser
javascript,game-physics,phaser-framework,racing
The reason it stops dead is because you're moving it with velocity, not acceleration - and are setting velocity to zero in your update loop (this effectively says "stop, now!"). Remove those lines and in your call to velocityFromAngle you should feed that into body.acceleration instead of body.velocity. Here is...
How to reset its position back to the origin when it reach the end of frame? javascript
javascript,sprite,game-physics
I think that the create() method only gets called when you create it. This way the if statement only gets called once. You need to check it multiple times (eg each frame). it appears Phase has a class that checks if you're out of bounds. (onOutOfBounds) try: function create() {...
Make a sprite behave like a rigid body in Phaser.io
You need to use the P2 Physics system that comes with Phaser. Have a look at the Phaser Examples and scroll down to the P2 section specifically. There should be plenty of examples there to get you started, then you can use the API docs to fill in the blanks.
Date getTime gives low values for longer durations
javascript,game-physics,craftyjs
I've seen something wrong in your code: - on keydown you are calculating and recalculating the Date.now() so just changed this part of the code keyboard[code.keyCode] = true; var then = new Date(); keystart[code.keyCode] = then; with this: var then = new Date(); if(!keyboard[code.keyCode]) { //only if not yet pressed...
Can someone explain how to experiment with the value of gravity?
java,libgdx,physics,game-physics,orthographic
By "experimentally determined," the author just means trying various values until finding something that worked. There's no math or complex magic here. To experiment with it, just change it and run the program again. If you like what you see, use it. If not, adjust it accordingly. The number of...
How to get exact height and Width of PhysicsWorld in Meters?
java,android,box2d,andengine,game-physics
I solved it in my way.. thank you @LearnCocos2D. this.mScene = new Scene(); this.mScene.setBackground(new Background(0, 0, 0)); this.mScene.setOnSceneTouchListener(this); this.mScene.setOnAreaTouchListener(this); this.mPhysicsWorld = new PhysicsWorld(new Vector2(0, 10), false); this.mScene.registerUpdateHandler(this.mPhysicsWorld); final Rectangle ground = new Rectangle(0, CAMERA_HEIGHT - 2, CAMERA_WIDTH, 2, vertexBufferObjectManager); final Rectangle left = new Rectangle(0, 0, 2, CAMERA_HEIGHT, vertexBufferObjectManager); final...
