int elasticIterations
 Deprecated in 5.3.0, should not be needed.
cpVect gravity
 Global gravity value to use for all rigid bodies in this space (default value is cpvzero).

 Global viscous damping value to use for all rigid bodies in this space (default value is 1.0 which disables damping).

Detailed Description

Chipmunk spaces are simulation containers.

You add a bunch of physics objects to a space (rigid bodies, collision shapes, and joints) and step the entire space forward through time as a whole.


Member Function Documentation

- (id) add: (NSObject< ChipmunkObject > *)  obj  

Add an object to the space.

This can be any object that implements the ChipmunkObject protocol. This includes all the basic types such as ChipmunkBody, ChipmunkShape and ChipmunkConstraint as well as any composite game objects you may define that implement the protocol.

Warning:
This method may not be called from a collision handler callback. See addPostStepCallback:selector:context: for information on how to do that.
- (void) addBaseObjects: (id< NSFastEnumeration >)  objects  

Add a collection of ChipmunkBaseObject objects to the space.

The objects must implement the ChipmunkBaseObject protocol. These include ChipmunkBody, ChipmunkShape and ChipmunkConstraint objects.

Warning:
This method may not be called from a collision handler callback. See addPostStepCallback:selector:context: for information on how to do that.
- (void) addCollisionHandler: (id)  target
typeA: (id)  a
typeB: (id)  b
begin: (SEL)  begin
preSolve: (SEL)  preSolve
postSolve: (SEL)  postSolve
separate: (SEL)  separate 

Set a collision handler to handle specific collision types.

The methods are called only when shapes with the specified collisionTypes collide.

typeA and typeB should be the same object references set to ChipmunkShape.collisionType. They can be any uniquely identifying object. Class and global NSString objects work well as collision types as they are easy to get a reference to and do not require you to allocate any objects.

The expected method selectors are as follows:

- (bool)begin:(cpArbiter *)arbiter space:(ChipmunkSpace*)space
- (bool)preSolve:(cpArbiter *)arbiter space:(ChipmunkSpace*)space
- (void)postSolve:(cpArbiter *)arbiter space:(ChipmunkSpace*)space
- (void)separate:(cpArbiter *)arbiter space:(ChipmunkSpace*)space
- (void) addPostStepCallback: (id)  target
selector: (SEL)  selector
context: (id)  context 

Define a callback to be run at the end of a step.

The main reason you want to define post-step callbacks is to get around the restriction that you cannot call the add/remove methods from a collision handler callback. Post-step callbacks run right before the next (or current) call to step: returns when it is safe to add and remove objects.

The method signature of the method should be:

- (void)postStepCallback:(id)context</code></pre>

This makes it easy to call a removal method on your game controller to remove a game object that died or was destroyed as the result of a collision:

[space addPostStepCallback:gameController selector:\@selector(remove:) context:gameObject];
Attention:
Not to be confused with post-solve collision handler callbacks.

- (void) rehashShape: (ChipmunkShape *)  shape  

Update the collision info for a single shape.

Can be used to update individual static shapes that were moved or active shapes that were moved that you want to query against.

- (id) remove: (NSObject< ChipmunkObject > *)  obj  

Remove an object from the space.

This can be any object that implements the ChipmunkObject protocol. This includes all the basic types such as ChipmunkBody, ChipmunkShape and ChipmunkConstraint as well as any composite game objects you may define that implement the protocol.

Warning:
This method may not be called from a collision handler callback. See addPostStepCallback:selector:context: for information on how to do that.
- (void) removeBaseObjects: (id< NSFastEnumeration >)  objects  

Remove a collection of ChipmunkBaseObject objects from the space.

The objects must implement the ChipmunkBaseObject protocol. These include ChipmunkBody, ChipmunkShape and ChipmunkConstraint objects.

Warning:
This method may not be called from a collision handler callback. See addPostStepCallback:selector:context: for information on how to do that.
- (void) setDefaultCollisionHandler: (id)  target
begin: (SEL)  begin
preSolve: (SEL)  preSolve
postSolve: (SEL)  postSolve
separate: (SEL)  separate 

Set the default collision handler.

The default handler is used for all collisions when a specific collision handler cannot be found.

The expected method selectors are as follows:

- (bool)begin:(cpArbiter *)arbiter space:(ChipmunkSpace*)space
- (bool)preSolve:(cpArbiter *)arbiter space:(ChipmunkSpace*)space
- (void)postSolve:(cpArbiter *)arbiter space:(ChipmunkSpace*)space
- (void)separate:(cpArbiter *)arbiter space:(ChipmunkSpace*)space

Property Documentation

- (cpFloat) damping [read, write, assign]

Global viscous damping value to use for all rigid bodies in this space (default value is 1.0 which disables damping).

This value is the fraction of velocity a body should have after 1 second. A value of 0.9 would mean that each second, a body would have 80% of the velocity it had the previous second.

- (int) elasticIterations [read, write, assign]

Deprecated in 5.3.0, should not be needed.

Deprecated:
since 5.3.0
- (int) iterations [read, write, assign]

The iteration count is how many solver passes the space should use when solving collisions and joints (default is 10).

Fewer iterations mean less CPU usage, but lower quality (mushy looking) physics.

- (cpFloat) sleepTimeThreshold [read, write, assign]

Elapsed time before a group of idle bodies is put to sleep (defaults to infinity which disables sleeping).

If an entire group of touching or jointed bodies has been idle for at least this long, the space will put all of the bodies into a sleeping state where they consume very little CPU.

- (ChipmunkBody*) staticBody [read, assign]

The space's designated static body.

Collision shapes added to the body will automatically be marked as static shapes, and rigid bodies that come to rest while touching or jointed to this body will fall asleep.
