Calculate closest point of box2d body in libgdx
In this tutorial we will calculate closest point of a contact of a body from another point in box2d in libgdx. In last two tutorials, one using BoundingBox and other using Raycast we queried box2d to get list of nearby…
Add Explosion in Box2D using Raycast in libgdx
In the previous tutorial, we added an option to get list of bodies around the player using QueryAABB method present in box2d in libgdx. This method gives list of all bodies in a bounding box. So it is helpful in…
Add Explosion in Box2D using BoundingBox in libgdx
In the previous tutorial we added a rotating shield to our player. The shield object would move in uniform circular speed around the player object. The shield was a kinematic body so that we can set velocity every frame to…
Move Box2d Body In Circular Path in Libgdx
Recently there was a need to have a body rotate around another moving body, sort of like a shield. To achieve this functionality, initially we thought of using a revolute joint, available in box2d in libgdx. For revolute joint we…
Using Scoreoid with Libgdx/Desktop
In January we wrote a post on how to integrate scoreoid in Libgdx for Android. In this post we would be integrating it for the desktop/PC version. For parsing JSON we are using the source code available in this link…
