steve_ancell	Created : 08 August 2016 Edited : 08 August 2016 Monkey-X Box2D: Learning from my perspective... Hopefully!
Learning Box2D with Monkey-X: Based on my personal experience. So, I decided to have a go at using the Box2D/monkeybox2d module. At the moment I've been attempting to break down some tutorials, which were kindly provided by skid over at monkey-x.com, into small chunks in order to make it more understandable. This was done to help me understand how to use the Box2D module, but maybe whoever else is reading this may also benefit from this too. Over time I will break down, or maybe just break it altogether, what I learn into code snippets that I hope can become useful to me and whoever. I will start with showing results as a debug drawing and then hopefully transition over to proper graphics as this progresses, I just hope I don't wind up boring you all in the process. I have so far isolated the part that creates the world with noting else in it, I will add more to this blog as I go along. Creating the world: This is the bare-essentials for setting up a Box2D environment. Although stuff could probably be done in the C_Game class, which is what I originally intended as to try simplifying what does what, it seems to be easier to handle if the Box2D stuff is inside of another class like I've done here with the C_Box2D class. Strict 'I am da masta! Import mojo 'It seems that this needs a bit of mojo. Import box2d.collision 'Based on what I've seen so far, this subframe of C_Box2D is needed for what I'm doing here.

steve_ancell	Instead of keep adding comments I will just edit the main blog as I add stuff, this will help to keep any other comments separate from the stuff above.

Jayenkai	"Only adding to the main blog" will only ever add to the main blog. It won't flag up the new content as an unread post in the sidebar. As such, be sure to post a comment, like "Today I tackled X/achieved Y/broke Z" if it's been a while since the last update. (eg a few hours, not spamming every 10 seconds )

steve_ancell	One problem has arisen, the left polygon in the compound shape doesn't seem to be colliding with the circle. Back to the drawing board in search of a solution
Saturday, 13 August 2016, 09:14
steve_ancell	I've found that compound shapes collide a whole lot better whn the vertices are added when the first vector is added at top left and the rest are added in a clockwise fashion. Also been using actual images with this, I will post in here again once I get something more stable going.

steve_ancell	I have found that top down car physics is easier to impliment with a single rectangular body without the wheels. It's now a lot easier to control but it now moves like it's on a track, it needs to have some sort of sideways inertia to give it the feeling of drift on tight corners. i'm planning on trying some sort of dual-mass approach, in the meantime here is the code for what I've done recently.
