Detailed Description

arbitrates collisions between sprites using Chipmunk Physics (Chipmunk Physics Only)

Note: API Stability: 2 - Unstable. The API is in the process of settling, but has not yet had sufficient real-world testing to be considered stable. Backwards-compatibility will be maintained if reasonable.

Member Function Documentation

getCount ( )

number of contacts tracked by this arbiter

A collision can involve multiple contact points between objects. This tells you how many different contact points are involved in this collision.

getDepth ( int i )

get the depth of penetration for a particular contact point

Parameters

i	index into contact points

getNormal ( )

get collision normal

Get the normal vector (magnitude of 1.0) that expresses the relative x and y direction of the collision.

getPointA ( int i )

get the location of a particular contact point

Parameters

i	index into contact points

getPointB ( int i )

get the location of a particular contact point

Parameters

i	index into contact points

isFirstContact ( )

is this this first moment of contact in a collision?

Returns: true if this is the first moment of contact between the objects, false if part of an ongoing collison
