Class PhysicsEngine

java.lang.Object
de.gurkenlabs.litiengine.physics.PhysicsEngine
All Implemented Interfaces:
IUpdateable
public final class PhysicsEngine
extends java.lang.Object
implements IUpdateable
This class is used to hold all collision aware instances and static collision boxes. It is responsible for resolving movement that respects the collision boxes in the game. This is achieved by the move method group.
The collides method group can detect a collision at a certain location, for rectangles, or collision aware entities. Also, there's an overload that takes a Line2D to perform a basic raycast check.
