Semantics / meaning of "kinematic" #58

Open pkivolowitz opened 7 years ago

pkivolowitz commented 7 years ago

Very nice work - I am using oimo.js for teaching my students in a graphics class.

Can you tell me the meaning and effect of marking a body as kinematic? So far I have not seen a difference between this and setting move == false.

Thank you.

Hi thank's kinematic is for controling mouvement of a body without force

pkivolowitz commented 7 years ago

Thank you.

Please let me know if I have this right.

A body marker kinematic will move as it is directed but will be immune to all forces such as gravity and collision with other bodies?

Thanks

yes no force on it, but only collision with other body http://lo-th.github.io/Oimo.js/index.html#kinematic

ps: no very accurate with rotation have to find better method

Very cool, could be used on space planets?

@lo-th How to make a rigid body rotate around a point or edge instead of rotating around the center?
