Introduction

Physics offers comprehensive control over the physical properties and behavior of objects and the world itself. Here’s a breakdown of each aspect:

1. World Physics Properties:
– World Type: Users can define the type of physics world, such as 2D or 3D, to match the dimensions of their environment.
– Gravity: Users have the ability to set the direction and magnitude of gravity within the physics world, influencing the behavior of objects subjected to gravitational forces.

2. Object Body Properties:
– Body Type: Users can specify the body type of objects, such as static, dynamic, or kinematic, determining how they interact with the physics simulation.
– Mass: Users can set the mass of objects, influencing their response to external forces and collisions.
– Friction: Users can adjust the friction coefficient of objects, controlling the resistance to motion when in contact with other surfaces.
– Damping: Users can define damping properties to simulate air resistance or other dissipative forces, affecting the object’s motion over time.
– Pressure: Users have the option to specify pressure properties for objects, influencing their deformation or buoyancy behavior in fluid simulations.

3. Motion Control:

Simple Motion:
1. Push Object Towards Another Object: Users can make one object move towards another with a specified speed, useful for creating collisions or interactions.
2. Move Forward/Backward: Users can move objects in a straight line, either forward or backward, with a set speed.

Advanced Motion:
1. Body Velocity: Users can set the speed and direction of objects’ movement.
2. Body Angular Velocity: Users control how fast objects rotate.
3. Apply Impulse: Users can give objects a sudden push, simulating impacts or abrupt movements.
4. Apply Force: Users can continuously push objects, affecting their movement over time.
5. Gravity: Users can adjust how much gravity affects objects, controlling their falling speed or direction.

These motion options allow users to create a variety of dynamic effects in their scenes, from basic movements to complex physics simulations.
