# Quick Start

Place the `windfield` folder inside your project and require it:

```lua
wf = require 'windfield'
```

<br>

## Create a world

A physics world can be created just like in box2d. The world returned by `wf.newWorld` contains all the functions of a [LÖVE physics World](https://love2d.org/wiki/World) as well as additional ones defined by this library.

```lua
function love.load()
    world = wf.newWorld(0, 0, true)
    world:setGravity(0, 512)
end

function love.update(dt)
    world:update(dt)
end
```

<br>

## Create colliders

A collider is a composition of a single body, fixture and shape. For most use cases whenever box2d is needed a body will only have one fixture/shape attached to it, so it makes sense to work primarily on that level of abstraction. Colliders contain all the functions of a LÖVE physics [Body](https://love2d.org/wiki/Body), [Fixture](https://love2d.org/wiki/Fixture) and [Shape](https://love2d.org/wiki/Shape) as well as additional ones defined by this library:

```lua
function love.load()
    ...

    box = world:newRectangleCollider(400 - 50/2, 0, 50, 50)
    box:setRestitution(0.8)
    box:applyAngularImpulse(5000)

    ground = world:newRectangleCollider(0, 550, 800, 50)
    wall_left = world:newRectangleCollider(0, 0, 50, 600)
    wall_right = world:newRectangleCollider(750, 0, 50, 600)
    ground:setType('static') -- Types can be 'static', 'dynamic' or 'kinematic'. Defaults to 'dynamic'
    wall_left:setType('static')
    wall_right:setType('static')
end

...

function love.draw()
    world:draw() -- The world can be drawn for debugging purposes
end
```

And that looks like this:

<p align="center">
  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/ytfhmjc.gif"/>
</p>

<br>

## Create joints

Joints are mostly unchanged from how they work normally in box2d:

```lua
function love.load()
    ...

    box_1 = world:newRectangleCollider(400 - 50/2, 0, 50, 50)
    box_1:setRestitution(0.8)
    box_2 = world:newRectangleCollider(400 - 50/2, 50, 50, 50)
    box_2:setRestitution(0.8)
    box_2:applyAngularImpulse(5000)
    joint = world:addJoint('RevoluteJoint', box_1, box_2, 400, 50, true)

    ...
end
```

And that looks like this:

<p align="center">
  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/tSqkxJR.gif"/>
</p>

<br>

## Create collision classes

Collision classes are used to make colliders ignore other colliders of certain classes and to capture collision events between colliders. The same concept goes by the name of 'collision layer' or 'collision tag' in other engines. In the example below we add a Solid and Ghost collision class. The Ghost collision class is set to ignore the Solid collision class.

```lua
function love.load()
    ...

    world:addCollisionClass('Solid')
    world:addCollisionClass('Ghost', {ignores = {'Solid'}})

    box_1 = world:newRectangleCollider(400 - 100, 0, 50, 50)
    box_1:setRestitution(0.8)
    box_2 = world:newRectangleCollider(400 + 50, 0, 50, 50)
    box_2:setCollisionClass('Ghost')

    ground = world:newRectangleCollider(0, 550, 800, 50)
    ground:setType('static')
    ground:setCollisionClass('Solid')

    ...
end
```

And that looks like this:

<p align="center">
  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/j7IhVSe.gif"/>
</p>

The box that was set be of the Ghost collision class ignored the ground and went right through it, since the ground is set to be of the Solid collision class.

<br>

## Capture collision events

Collision events can be captured inside the update function by calling the `enter`, `exit` or `stay` functions of a collider. In the example below, whenever the box collider enters contact with another collider of the Solid collision class it will get pushed to the right:

```lua
function love.update(dt)
    ...
    if box:enter('Solid') then
        box:applyLinearImpulse(1000, 0)
        box:applyAngularImpulse(5000)
    end
end
```

And that looks like this:

<p align="center">
  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/uF1bqKM.gif"/>
</p>

<br>

## Query the world

The world can be queried with a few area functions and then all colliders inside that area will be returned. In the example below, the world is queried at position 400, 300 with a circle of radius 100, and then all colliders in that area are pushed to the right and down.

```lua
function love.load()
    world = wf.newWorld(0, 0, true)
    world:setQueryDebugDrawing(true) -- Draws the area of a query for 10 frames

    colliders = {}
    for i = 1, 200 do
        table.insert(colliders, world:newRectangleCollider(love.math.random(0, 800), love.math.random(0, 600), 25, 25))
    end
end

function love.update(dt)
    world:update(dt)
end

function love.draw()
    world:draw()
end

function love.keypressed(key)
    if key == 'p' then
        local colliders = world:queryCircleArea(400, 300, 100)
        for _, collider in ipairs(colliders) do
            collider:applyLinearImpulse(1000, 1000)
        end
    end
end
```

And that looks like this:

<p align="center">
  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/YVxAiuu.gif"/>

# Examples & Tips

## Checking collisions between game objects

The most common use case for a physics engine is doing things when things collide. For instance, when the Player collides with an enemy you might want to deal damage to the player. Here's the way to achieve that with this library:


```lua
-- in Player.lua
function Player:new()
  self.collider = world:newRectangleCollider(...)
  self.collider:setCollisionClass('Player')
  self.collider:setObject(self)
end

-- in Enemy.lua
function Enemy:new()
  self.collider = world:newRectangleCollider(...)
  self.collider:setCollisionClass('Enemy')
  self.collider:setObject(self)
end
```

First we define in the constructor of both classes the collider that should be attached to them. We set their collision classes (Player and Enemy) and then link the object to the colliders with `setObject`. With this, we can capture collision events between both and then do whatever we wish when a collision happens:

```lua
-- in Player.lua
function Player:update(dt)
  if self.collider:enter('Enemy') then
    local collision_data = self.collider:getEnterCollisionData('Enemy')
    local enemy = collision_data.collider:getObject()
    -- Kills the enemy on hit but also take damage
    enemy:die()
    self:takeDamage(10)
  end
end
```

<br>

## One-way Platforms

A common problem people have with using 2D physics engines seems to be getting one-way platforms to work. Here's one way to achieve this with this library:

```lua
function love.load()
  world = wf.newWorld(0, 512, true)
  world:addCollisionClass('Platform')
  world:addCollisionClass('Player')
  
  ground = world:newRectangleCollider(100, 500, 600, 50)
  ground:setType('static')
  platform = world:newRectangleCollider(350, 400, 100, 20)
  platform:setType('static')
  platform:setCollisionClass('Platform')
  player = world:newRectangleCollider(390, 450, 20, 40)
  player:setCollisionClass('Player')
  
  player:setPreSolve(function(collider_1, collider_2, contact)        
    if collider_1.collision_class == 'Player' and collider_2.collision_class == 'Platform' then
      local px, py = collider_1:getPosition()            
      local pw, ph = 20, 40            
      local tx, ty = collider_2:getPosition() 
      local tw, th = 100, 20
      if py + ph/2 > ty - th/2 then contact:setEnabled(false) end
    end   
  end)
end

function love.keypressed(key)
  if key == 'space' then
    player:applyLinearImpulse(0, -1000)
  end
end
```

And that looks like this:

<p align="center">
  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/ouwxVRH.gif"/>
</p>

The way this works is that by disabling the contact before collision response is applied (so in the preSolve callback) we can make a collider ignore another. And then all we do is check to see if the player is below platform, and if he is then we disable the contact.

```

Arguments:

* `joint` `(Joint)` - The joint to be removed

---

#### `:setExplicitCollisionEvents(value)`

Sets collision events to be explicit or not. If explicit, then collision events will only be generated between collision classes when they are specified in `addCollisionClasses`. By default this is set to false, meaning that collision events are generated between all collision classes. The main reason why you might want to set this to true is for performance, since not generating collision events between every collision class will require less computation. This function must be called before any collision class is added to the world.

```lua
world:setExplicitCollisionEvents(true)
```

Arguments:

* `value` `(boolean)` - If collision events are explicit or not

---

#### `:setQueryDebugDrawing(value)`

Sets query debug drawing to be active or not. If active, then collider queries will be drawn to the screen for 10 frames. This is used for debugging purposes and incurs a performance penalty. Don't forget to turn it off!

```lua
world:setQueryDebugDrawing(true)
```

Arguments:

* `value` `(boolean)` - If query debug drawing is active or not

* `collision_data` `(table[Collider, Contact])` - A table containing the Collider and the [Contact](https://love2d.org/wiki/Contact) generated from the last exit collision event

---

#### `:stay(other_collision_class_name)`

Checks for collision stay events from this collider with another. Stay events are generated on every frame when one collider is in contact with another.

```lua
-- in some update function
if collider:stay('Enemy') then
    print('Collision staying!')
end
```

Arguments:

* `other_collision_class_name` `(string)` - The name of the target collision class

Returns:

* `boolean` - If the stay collision event between both colliders is happening on this frame or not

---

#### `:getStayCollisionData(other_collision_class_name)`

Gets the collision data generated from the last collision stay event

```lua
-- in some update function
if collider:stay('Enemy') then
    local collision_data_list = collider:getStayCollisionData('Enemy')
    for _, collision_data in ipairs(collision_data_list) do
        print(collision_data.collider, collision_data.contact)
    end
end
```

Arguments:

* `other_collision_class_name` `(string)` - The name of the target collision class

Returns:

* `collision_data_list` `(table[table[Collider, Contact]])` - A table containing multiple Colliders and [Contacts](https://love2d.org/wiki/Contact) generated from the last stay collision event. Usually this list will be of size 1, but sometimes this collider will be staying in contact with multiple other colliders on the same frame, and so those multiple stay events (with multiple colliders) are returned.

---

#### `:setPreSolve(callback)`

Sets the preSolve callback. Unlike with `:enter` or `:exit` that can be delayed and checked after the physics simulation is done for this frame, both preSolve and postSolve must be callbacks that are resolved immediately, since they may change how the rest of the simulation plays out on this frame.

```lua
collider:setPreSolve(function(collider_1, collider_2, contact)
    contact:setEnabled(false)
end
```

Arguments:

* `callback` `(function)` - The preSolve callback. Receives `collider_1`, `collider_2` and `contact` as arguments

---

#### `:setPostSolve(callback)`

Sets the postSolve callback. Unlike with `:enter` or `:exit` that can be delayed and checked after the physics simulation is done for this frame, both preSolve and postSolve must be callbacks that are resolved immediately, since they may change how the rest of the simulation plays out on this frame.

```lua
collider:setPostSolve(function(collider_1, collider_2, contact, ni1, ti1, ni2, ti2)
    contact:setEnabled(false)
end
```

Arguments:

* `callback` `(function)` - The postSolve callback. Receives `collider_1`, `collider_2`, `contact`, `normal_impulse1`, `tangent_impulse1`, `normal_impulse2` and `tangent_impulse2` as arguments

---

#### `:addShape(shape_name, shape_type, ...)`

Adds a shape to the collider. A shape can be accessed via collider.shapes[shape_name]. A fixture of the same name is also added to attach the shape to the collider body. A fixture can be accessed via collider.fixtures[fixture_name].

Arguments:

* `shape_name` `(string)` - The unique name of the shape
* `shape_type` `(string)` - The shape type, can be `'ChainShape'`, `'CircleShape'`, `'EdgeShape'`, `'PolygonShape'` or `'RectangleShape'`
* `...` `(*)` - The shape creation arguments that are different for each shape. Check [here](https://love2d.org/wiki/Shape) for more details

---

#### `:removeShape(shape_name)`

Removes a shape from the collider (also removes the accompanying fixture).

Arguments:

* `shape_name` `(string)` - The unique name of the shape to be removed. Must be a name previously added with `:addShape`

---

#### `:setObject(object)`

Sets the collider's object. This is useful to set to the object the collider belongs to, so that when a query call is made and colliders are returned you can immediately get the pertinent object.

```lua
-- in the constructor of some object
self.collider = world:newRectangleCollider(...)
self.collider:setObject(self)
```

Arguments:

* `object` `(*)` - The object that this collider belongs to

---

#### `:getObject()`

Gets the object a collider belongs to.

```lua
-- in an update function
if self.collider:enter('Enemy') then
    local collision_data = self.collider:getEnterCollisionData('SomeTag')
    -- gets the reference to the enemy object, the enemy object must have used :setObject(self) to attach itself to the collider otherwise this wouldn't work
    local enemy = collision_data.collider:getObject()
end
```

Returns:

* `object` `(*)` - The object that is attached to this collider
