In article 13, we made our first steps with Farseer Physics Engine (FPE).
\nWe had create a world and 2 objects (a floor and boxes going thru gravity).<\/p>\n
This time, lets create a body from a texture (no more a simple shape like a rectanle).
\nLets also add he ability to move that body around with our mouse by using a mouse joint.<\/p>\n
Have a look at the method CreateFromTexture in the DrawablePhysicObject class : in short, it creates a polygon from a texture.
\nHave a look at the update method where we use a FixedMouseJoint.
\nAlso, see how easy it is to add extra objects like 2 extra floors.<\/p>\n
Side note, finding documentation on FPE can sometimes be tedious, especially on latest 3.5 version where significant changes were introduced. Look at the video below to illustrate all this : body from texture, mouse joint.<\/p>\n
\nStill, here<\/a> is a good start (although meant for 3.3).
\nAlso, the box2d manual<\/a> is usefull to understand concepts.
\nAnd to close this parenthesis around documentation, the farseer samples<\/a> are very instructive as well.<\/p>\n
