Phaser

Class: Body

Phaser.Physics.P2. Body

Physics Body Constructor

new Body(game, sprite, x, y, mass)

The Physics Body is typically 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. By default a single Rectangle shape is added to the Body that matches the dimensions of the parent Sprite. See addShape, removeShape, clearShapes to add extra shapes around the Body. Note: When bound to a Sprite to avoid single-pixel jitters on mobile devices we strongly recommend using Sprite sizes that are even on both axis, i.e. 128x128 not 127x127. Note: When a game object is given a P2 body it has its anchor x/y set to 0.5, so it becomes centered.

angle

The angle of the Body in degrees from its original orientation. Values from 0 to 180 represent clockwise rotation; values from 0 to -180 represent counterclockwise rotation. Values outside this range are added to or subtracted from 360 to obtain a value within the range. For example, the statement Body.angle = 450 is the same as Body.angle = 90. If you wish to work in radians instead of degrees use the property Body.rotation instead. Working in radians is faster as it doesn't have to convert values.
