public class FBlob
extends FBody

Represents a blob body that can be added to a world. Blobs are soft bodies that are composed of vertices and tries to maintain constant the volume the vertices enclose. Blobs can be created by adding vertices using the vertex method in a similar way to FPoly:

 FBlob myBlob = new FBlob();
 myBlob.vertex(40, 10);
 myBlob.vertex(50, 20);
 myBlob.vertex(60, 30);
 myBlob.vertex(60, 40);
 myBlob.vertex(50, 50);
 myBlob.vertex(40, 60);
 myBlob.vertex(30, 70);
 myBlob.vertex(20, 60);
 myBlob.vertex(10, 50);
 myBlob.vertex(10, 40);
 myBlob.vertex(20, 30);
 myBlob.vertex(30, 20);
 myBlob.vertex(40, 10);
 world.add(myBlob);
 
 

or it may be initialized using the method setAsCircle to set the initial shape as a circle:

 FBlob myBlob = new FBlob();
 myBlob.setAsCircle(40);
 world.add(myBlob);

addForce

public void addForce(float fx,
                     float fy)

Description copied from class: FBody

Aply a force on the center of the body.

Overrides:

addForce in class FBody

Parameters:

fx - the x coordinate of the force

fy - the y coordinate of the force

See Also:

FBody.addTorque(float), FBody.addForce(float,float,float,float)

addTorque

public void addTorque(float t)

Description copied from class: FBody

Add a rotation force (a torque) to the body.

Overrides:

addTorque in class FBody

Parameters:

t - the value of the torque

See Also:

FBody.addForce(float,float), FBody.addForce(float,float,float,float)

setDensity

public void setDensity(float d)

Description copied from class: FBody

Set the density of the body. The density will determine the total mass of the body and thus it's behavior with respect to collisions, bounces, inertia, joints,... When the density is set, the mass of the body is recalculated automatically given it's area. Note that a density of 0.0 corresponds to a mass of 0.0 independently of the area and the body will be considered static.

Overrides:

setDensity in class FBody

Parameters:

d - the density of the body

setFriction

public void setFriction(float d)

Description copied from class: FBody

Set the friction of the body. The friction determines the ratio of the reaction force tangent to a contact, when the body collides with another body. Basically it can be seen as a coefficient that will control how the body gets slown down when the body slides against another body. The friction of a contact of two bodies in a collision is calculated from the friction values of the 2 bodies involved.

Overrides:

setFriction in class FBody

Parameters:

d - a positive value. A value of 0 means no friction and thus the body will not be slown down if no other forces are applied

setRestitution

public void setRestitution(float d)

Description copied from class: FBody

Set the restitution of the body. The restitution determines the ratio of the reaction force normal to a contact, when the body collides with another body. Basically it can be seen as a coefficient that will control the strength with which the body bounces back from a collision. The resititution of a contact of two bodies in a collision is calculated as the maximum of the restitution values of the 2 bodies involved.

Overrides:

setRestitution in class FBody

Parameters:

d - a positive value. A value of 0 means no bounce after a collision, and a value of 1 means bounce with it's full speed from a collision

setBullet

public void setBullet(boolean d)

Description copied from class: FBody

Set whether the body is a bullet. Bullet bodies are computationally more expensive but more accurate in their movement. Use this only with fast objects.

Overrides:

setBullet in class FBody

Parameters:

d - if true the body will be a bullet

setNoStroke

public void setNoStroke()

Description copied from class: FDrawable

Set that the object must be drawn without stroke.

public void setFillColor(int col)

Description copied from class: FDrawable

Set the fill color of the object. This method must be used in conjunction with Processing's color(). In most cases users will find it more convenient to use the versions of FDrawable.setFill(float), FDrawable.setFill(float,float), FDrawable.setFill(float,float,float) or FDrawable.setFill(float,float,float,float)

Overrides:

setFillColor in class FDrawable
