Class: b2.World
Description
Creates a joint given a definition. All 10 types of joints are created by using this function:
(b2.Joint) = b2.World:createJoint(jointDef)
Parameters
jointDef: (table)
Return values
Returns (b2.Joint) created joint
Revolute Joint
Revolute joint definition. This requires defining an anchor point where the bodies are joined. The definition uses local anchor points so that the initial configuration can violate the constraint slightly. You also need to specify the initial relative angle for joint limits. This helps when saving and loading a game. The local anchor points are measured from the body origin rather than the center of mass because:
- you might not know where the center of mass will be
- if you add/remove shapes from a body and recompute the mass, the joints will be broken.
type: (number) b2.REVOLUTE_JOINT
bodyA: (b2.Body) The first attached body.
bodyB: (b2.Body) The second attached body.
collideConnected: (boolean) Set this flag to true if the attached bodies should collide.
localAnchorA: (table) The local anchor point relative to bodyA's origin.
localAnchorB: (table) The local anchor point relative to bodyB's origin.
referenceAngle: (number) The bodyB angle minus bodyA angle in the reference state (radians).
enableLimit: (boolean) A flag to enable joint limits.
lowerAngle: (number) The lower angle for the joint limit (radians).
upperAngle: (number) The upper angle for the joint limit (radians).
enableMotor: (boolean) A flag to enable the joint motor.
motorSpeed: (number) The desired motor speed. Usually in radians per second.
maxMotorTorque: (number) The maximum motor torque used to achieve the desired motor speed. Usually in N-m.
Also, you can use b2.createRevoluteJointDef function to create a revolute joint definiton table easier.
Prismatic Joint
Prismatic joint definition. This requires defining a line of motion using an axis and an anchor point. The definition uses local anchor points and a local axis so that the initial configuration can violate the constraint slightly. The joint translation is zero when the local anchor points coincide in world space. Using local anchors and a local axis helps when saving and loading a game.

upperTranslation: (number) The upper translation limit, usually in meters.
enableMotor: (boolean) A flag to enable the joint motor.
maxMotorForce: (number) The maximum motor torque, usually in N-m.

Also, you can use b2.createPrismaticJointDef function to create a prismatic joint definiton table easier.
Distance Joint
