Examples

Creating a physics world

-- Create a physics world
local world = love.physics.newWorld(0, 9.81 * 64, true)  -- gravity: 0, 9.81*64

-- Create a ground body
local ground = love.physics.newBody(world, 400, 550)
local groundShape = love.physics.newRectangleShape(800, 50)
local groundFixture = love.physics.newFixture(ground, groundShape)

Physics object

-- Create a dynamic physics object
local ballBody = love.physics.newBody(world, 400, 100, "dynamic")
local ballShape = love.physics.newCircleShape(20)
local ballFixture = love.physics.newFixture(ballBody, ballShape, 1)

-- Apply force to the object
ballBody:applyLinearImpulse(100, -500)

Best practices

• Use appropriate physics scale for your game
• Consider performance implications of complex physics simulations
• Handle physics collisions and contacts efficiently
• Test physics behavior on target platforms
• Be mindful of physics accuracy vs performance trade-offs

Platform compatibility

• Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux): Full physics support
• Mobile (iOS, Android): Full support but performance may vary
• Web: Good support with some limitations
