Phaser.Physics.Arcade. Body

Arcade Physics Body Constructor

new Body(sprite)

The Physics Body is linked to a single Sprite and defines properties that determine how the physics body is simulated. These properties affect how the body reacts to forces, what forces it generates on itself (to simulate friction), and how it reacts to collisions in the scene. In most cases, the properties are used to simulate physical effects. Each body also has its own property values that determine exactly how it reacts to forces and collisions in the scene.
