In order to best understand it, we'll start with a ball, bouncing inside four walls. To enable collisions and physics, the following are needed: * Two objects text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/physics/creating_an_insect_object?rev=1759253179&do=diff Creating an Insect with FX, physics and joints In this tutorial I'll show you how to create an insect with movement something like a mosquito. I'll be using a looping FX to create the movement. In order to keep the insect right side up, there will be a weighted object connected under the insect with a text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/physics/force_points?rev=1759253179&do=diff Applying a force at a position point The most easy way to use the orxObject_ApplyForce function is the pass an orxNULL value for the last parameter which means to apply force to the centre of the object.

For this tutorial, we'll first add some keyboard controls, then later some physics. These, are added to our data folder, along with everything from tutorial 3. As usual, I'll be tearing apart Iarwain's tutorials and reshuffling them to my own thought patterns.

This tutorial shows how to add physical properties to objects. By adding a body (and body parts) you can handle collisions between objects. As you can see, the physical properties are completely text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/physics/raycasting?rev=1759253179&do=diff Raycasting Raycasting is part of the underlying physics system that Orx uses. What is Raycasting? Raycasting is simply the act of sending a ray from one point to another point, and returning any object that the ray passes through. What can Raycasting be used for? text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/physics/weld_joint_on_objects_with_bodies?rev=1759253179&do=diff Weld Joint on parent/child Objects with Bodies Using objects with children that also have bodies can be tricky if they are required to stay fixed together. When something collides with the parent or child, they will break apart. This is the expected behaviour. But it may not be the effect you want. text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/physics/z_order_of_objects_with_joints?rev=1759253179&do=diff Z-Order of Objects with Joints This is a very small tutorial, and the main point is going to be this: Joints use ParentAnchor and ChildAnchor for connecting, however the z coordinate of the Position property is super important for getting the z order of your objects right.
