## Detailed Description

A world is required to simulate physics between bodies.

It will setup collision configuration, constraint solver, the broadphase interface and a dispatcher to dispatch calculations for overlapping pairs.

A new world can be created with ephysics_world_new() and deleted with ephysics_world_del(). It can have its gravity changed with ephysics_world_gravity_set() and play / paused with ephysics_world_running_set(). When running, the simulation will be gradually stepped.

## Function Documentation

EAPI EPhysics_World* ephysics_world_new | ( | void |  | ) |

Create a new physics world.

A new world will be created with set collision configuration, constraint solver, broadphase interface and dispatcher.

It can be paused / unpaused with ephysics_world_running_set() and its gravity can be changed with ephysics_world_gravity_set().

By default it starts with gravity y = 294 Evas coordinates per second ^ 2 and playing.

If default updates between physics bodies and evas objects will be used it's mandatory to set the size of the area to be rendered with ephysics_world_render_geometry_set().

Returns
  A new world or `NULL`, on errors.

EAPI void ephysics_world_max_sleeping_time_set | ( | EPhysics_World * | world,

|  | double | gy,
|  | double | gz
| ) |  |

Set world gravity in the 3 axes (x, y, z).

Gravity will act over bodies with mass over all the time.

By default values are 0, 294, 0 Evas Coordinates per second ^ 2 (9.8 m/s^2, since we've a default rate of 30 pixels).

If you change the rate but wants to keep 9.8 m/s^2, you well need to set world gravity with: 9.8 * new_rate.

Parameters

  world | The world object.
  gx | Gravity on x axis.
  gy | Gravity on y axis.
  gz | Gravity on z axis.

Note
  The unit used for acceleration is Evas coordinates per second ^ 2.

EAPI void ephysics_world_constraint_solver_iterations_set | ( | EPhysics_World * | world,
|  | int | iterations
| ) |  |

Set the number of iterations the constraint solver will have for contact and joint constraints.

The default value is set to 10. The greater number of iterations more quality and precise the result but with performance penalty.

By default, the Projected Gauss Seidel constraint solver is used for contact and joint constraints. The algorithm is an iterative LCP solver, informally known as 'sequential impulse'.

A reasonable range of iterations is from 4 (low quality, good performance) to 20 (good quality, less but still reasonable performance).

EAPI void ephysics_world_bodies_outside_top_autodel_set | ( | EPhysics_World * | world,
|  | Eina_Bool | autodel
| ) |  |

Set world autodeleting bodies mode when they're outside of render area by the top.

It's useful when you don't care about bodies leaving the render area set with ephysics_world_render_geometry_set(), and don't think they could / should return. So you can safely delete them and save resources.

Also, it's useful if you have only a bottom border set with ephysics_body_top_boundary_add() and gravity set, and want to listen for EPHYSICS_CALLBACK_WORLD_STOPPED event. If a body goes out of the render area, they will be acting by gravity and won't collide to anything, so they could be moving forever and world would never stop. For this case, enabling autodel for left and right borders seems to be a good idea.

Parameters

  world | The physics world.
  autodel | If `EINA_TRUE` delete bodies when they are outside render area, otherwise, don't delete.

EAPI void ephysics_world_simulation_set | ( | EPhysics_World * | world,
|  | double | fixed_time_step,
|  | int | max_sub_steps
| ) |  |

Set world simulation's fixed time step and max number of sub steps configuration.

It's important that time step is always less than `max_sub_steps` * `fixed_time_step`, otherwise you are losing time. Mathematically:

time step < `max_sub_steps` * `fixed_time_step`;

If you're a using a very large time step [say, five times the size of the fixed internal time step], then you must increase the number of max sub steps to compensate for this, otherwise your simulation is “losing” time.

The time step may vary. Simulation ticks are called by an animator, so, by default, time step is `1/30` secs. If you're using elementary, default FPS configuration is 60 fps, i.e. time step is `1/60` secs. You can change that setting a different time with ecore_animator_frametime_set().

Also, keep in mind that if you're using CPU intense calculations maybe this framerate won't be achieved, so the time step will be bigger. You need to define what range of frames per seconds you need to support and configure `max_sub_steps` and `fixed_time_step` according to this.

By decreasing the size of `fixed_time_step`, you are increasing the “resolution” of the simulation.

If you are finding that your objects are moving very fast and escaping from your walls instead of colliding with them, then one way to help fix this problem is by decreasing `fixed_time_step`. If you do this, then you will need to increase `max_sub_steps` to ensure the equation listed above is still satisfied.

The issue with this is that each internal “tick” takes an amount of computation. More of them means your CPU will be spending more time on physics and therefore less time on other stuff. Say you want twice the resolution, you'll need twice the `max_sub_steps`, which could chew up twice as much CPU for the same amount of simulation time.

When you pass `max_sub_steps` > 1, it will interpolate movement for you. This means that if your `fixed_time_step` is 3 units, and you pass a timeStep of 4, then it will do exactly one tick, and estimate the remaining movement by 1/3. This saves you having to do interpolation yourself, but keep in mind that maxSubSteps needs to be greater than 1.

By default `fixed_time_step` is 1/60 seconds and `max_sub_steps` is 3.

Parameters

  world | The physics world.
  fixed_time_step | size of the internal simulation step, in seconds.
  max_sub_steps | maximum number of steps that simulation is allowed to take at each simulation tick.

Note
  The unit used for time is seconds.

EAPI void ephysics_world_point_light_position_set | ( | EPhysics_World * | world,
|  | Evas_Coord | lx,
|  | Evas_Coord | ly,
|  | Evas_Coord | lz
| ) |  |

Set position of point light to be applied on the scene.

It will perform lighting calculations on the evas map applied on evas objects associated with all the bodies to have light applied over.

This is used to apply lighting calculations (from a single light source) to a given object. The R, G and B values of each vertex will be modified to reflect the lighting based on the lixth point coordinates, the light color and the ambient color, and at what angle the map is facing the light source. A surface should have its points be declared in a clockwise fashion if the face is "facing" towards you (as opposed to away from you) as faces have a "logical" side for lighting.

More details can be found on evas_map_util_3d_lighting() documentation, since this function is used internally by EPhysics.

There are two ways of setting a body to receive lighting. One is to simple set all the bodies to be affected, with ephysics_world_light_all_bodies_set(). The other, is to set each body individually, with ephysics_body_light_set().

By default, point light is set to position (0, 0, -200) and has white color (r=255, g=255, b=255). The ambient color is black (r=0, g=0, b=0). But no body will be affected. No change will be visible until some bodies are set to be enlightened.

Parameters

  world | The physics world.
  lx | X coordinate in space of light point
  ly | Y coordinate in space of light point
  lz | Z coordinate in space of light point

EAPI void ephysics_world_stack_enable_set | ( | EPhysics_World * | world,
|  | Eina_Bool | enabled
| ) |  |

Enable / disable stacking based on bodies z coordinates.

Evas objects associated to bodies will be restacked when it's enabled. So if a body A has coordinates x = 10, y = 10, z = 8 and a body B has coordinates x = 10, y = 10, z = 10, the evas object associated to B will be displayed below the evas object associated to A.

Evas objects will be restacked at each simulation tick. It's enabled by default, and disabling it can lead to wrong scenarios when movement on Z axis is enabled or when cloths are used.

But disabling it can save performance, so if you won't face these scenarios, it safe to disable it, since no evas object will be moved to be below or above others.

Parameters

  world | The physics world.
  enabled | If `EINA_TRUE`, stacking based on Z coordinates will be enabled, otherwise it will be disabled.
