Shape

Shapes are objects used to control mass and collisions.

Every shape is either a circle or a polygon, and is attached to a Body.


Create a new shape with love.physics.newCircleShape, love.physics.newPolygonShape or love.physics.newRectangleShape.

Functions

Shape:computeAABBReturns the points of the bounding box for the transformed shape.
