Shape

Shapes are solid 2d geometrical objects which handle the mass and collision of a Body in love.physics.

Shapes are attached to a Body via a Fixture. The Shape object is copied when this happens.

The Shape's position is relative to the position of the Body it has been attached to.

Constructors

love.physics.newChainShape Creates a new ChainShape. 0.8.0
love.physics.newCircleShape Creates a new CircleShape.
love.physics.newEdgeShape Creates a new EdgeShape. 0.8.0
love.physics.newPolygonShape Creates a new PolygonShape.
love.physics.newRectangleShape Shorthand for creating rectangluar PolygonShapes.
