[RC] Box2D

This is really nice for beginner Box2D users. Will there be more advanced documentation in future?

It will get more advanced in the later sections, so yeah. It will get more advanced, and will turn a absolute beginner into a pro. Next section will probably talk about mouse joints. Once you have learned how to use those, you can then make a simple physics game where you just fling stuff around (simple, but at least it's got user interaction).

Does anybody think that mouse joints is a suitable subject for the next section of the tutorial?

[nivram]

I don't see why not. Are you having doubts?

No, I'm not having doubts, just checking with the people who are more experienced with making tutorials/documentation for MMF2 if it sounds good. I guess I'll start writing section three, then. Thanks for your feedback on the matter! *Begins writing*

[happygreenfrog]

Okay! The next section is complete! It's about mouse joints. (Thanks for the feedback Marv!)

Nice! Keep them coming Is it possible this will cover more advanced areas in the future? Like "soft bodies" and ropes?

[happygreenfrog]

It will cover ropes. I don't know what you mean by a "soft body", care to explain more? I already think I know what the next section will be about, and it's going to be more advanced.

Sounds nice! With "soft bodies" I mean ways to simulate softness. It is used to do water type substances for example.

I don't know if Box2D has built-in support for that...

Its possible to create, I have seen some examples of it (not made in mmf though)
There are actually a lot of them out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFkd_wqlx0A
I think I saw one that was made out of triangles, like a wheel.

But this is very advanced stuff I guess. Better to focus on the basics first maybe :P

It would be nice if you would cover joints in general in future!
