Description
Box2D is tuned for MKS (meters-kilogram-second) units and the size of moving objects should roughly between 0.1 and 10 meters.
If you directly use the pixels as your units, unfortunately this will lead to a poor simulation and possibly weird behavior.
Gideros uses an internal scale system to convert between meters and pixels. By default, the value of this scale is 30
which means 1 meter = 30 pixels. This is a global value and effects all the physics system. Therefore, it is recommended to set this
value once before any physical objects are instantiated (e.g. right after calling require "box2d")
b2.setScale(scale)
Parameters
scale: (number) - the global pixels to meters scale
