Class: b2.World

Description

Creates a new particle system, which will use Liquid fun.

Parameters you can provide in table are:

  • "pressureStrength": increases pressure in response to compression. Smaller values allow more compression
  • "dampingStrength": reduces velocity along the collision normal Smaller value reduces less
  • "elasticStrength": restores shape of elastic particle groups. Larger values increase elastic particle velocity
  • "springStrength": restores length of spring particle groups. Larger values increase spring particle velocity
  • "viscousStrength": reduces relative velocity of viscous particles. Larger values slow down viscous particles more
  • "surfaceTensionPressureStrength": produces pressure on tensile particles 0~0.2. Larger values increase the amount of surface tension
  • "surfaceTensionNormalStrength": smoothes outline of tensile particles 0~0.2. Larger values result in rounder, smoother, water-drop-like clusters of particles
  • "repulsiveStrength": produces additional pressure on repulsive particles. Larger values repulse more. Negative values mean attraction. The range where particles behave stably is about -0.2 to 2.0
  • "powderStrength": produces repulsion between powder particles. Larger values repulse more
  • "ejectionStrength": pushes particles out of solid particle group. Larger values repulse more
  • "staticPressureStrength": produces static pressure. Larger values increase the pressure on neighboring partilces. For a description of static pressure, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_pressure#Static_pressure_in_fluid_dynamics
  • "staticPressureRelaxation": reduces instability in static pressure calculation. Larger values make stabilize static pressure with fewer iterations
  • "colorMixingStrength": determines how fast colors are mixed. 1.0f ==> mixed immediately 0.5f ==> mixed half way each simulation step (see B2.World:step)
  • "lifetimeGranularity": granularity of particle lifetimes in seconds. By default this is set to (1.0f / 60.0f) seconds. b2ParticleSystem uses a 32-bit signed value to track particle lifetimes so the maximum lifetime of a particle is (2^32 - 1) / (1.0f / lifetimeGranularity) seconds. With the value set to 1/60 the maximum lifetime or age of a particle is 2.27 years
  • "radius"
  • "staticPressureIterations": computes static pressure more precisely. See SetStaticPressureIterations for details
  • "destroyByAge": whether to destroy particles by age when no more particles can be created. See b2ParticleSystem::SetDestructionByAge() for more information
