  my $fixture = $body->CreateFixture();

  my $position = $body->GetPosition();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A rigid body. These are created via C<Box2D::b2World::CreateBody>.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 ApplyAngularImpulse( $impulse )

Apply an angular impulse.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<float32> C<$impulse> - the angular impulse in units of kg*m*m/s

=back

=head2 ApplyForce( $force, $point )

Apply a force at a world point. If the force is not applied at the center of mass, it will generate a torque and affect the angular velocity. This wakes up the body.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<Box2D::b2Vec2> C<$force> - the world force vector, usually in Newtons (N).

=item * C<Box2D::b2Vec2> C<$point> - the world position of the point of application.

=back

=head2 ApplyLinearImpulse( $impulse, $point )

Apply an impulse at a point. This immediately modifies the velocity. It also modifies the angular velocity if the point of application is not at the center of mass. This wakes up the body.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<Box2D::b2Vec2> C<$impulse> - the world impulse vector, usually in N-seconds or kg-m/s.

=item * C<Box2D::b2Vec2> C<$point> - the world position of the point of application.

=back

=head2 ApplyTorque( $torque )

Apply a torque. This affects the angular velocity without affecting the linear velocity of the center of mass. This wakes up the body.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<float32> C<$torque> - about the z-axis (out of the screen), usually in N-m.

=back

=head2 CreateFixture( $shape, $density )

Creates a fixture from a shape and attach it to this body. This is a convenience function. Use b2FixtureDef if you need to set parameters like friction, restitution, user data, or filtering. If the density is non-zero, this function automatically updates the mass of the body.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<Box2D::b2Shape> C<$shape> - the shape to be cloned.

=item * C<float32> C<$density> - the shape density (set to zero for static bodies). Warning:This function is locked during callbacks.

=back

Returns a C<Box2D::b2Fixture>

=head2 CreateFixtureDef( $def )

Creates a fixture and attach it to this body. Use this function if you need to set some fixture parameters, like friction. Otherwise you can create the fixture directly from a shape. If the density is non-zero, this function automatically updates the mass of the body. Contacts are not created until the next time step.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<Box2D::b2FixtureDef> C<$def> - the fixture definition. Warning:This function is locked during callbacks.

=back

Returns a C<Box2D::b2Fixture>

=head2 DestroyFixture( $fixture )

Destroy a fixture. This removes the fixture from the broad-phase and destroys all contacts associated with this fixture. This will automatically adjust the mass of the body if the body is dynamic and the fixture has positive density. All fixtures attached to a body are implicitly destroyed when the body is destroyed.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<Box2D::b2Fixture> C<$fixture> - the fixture to be removed. Warning:This function is locked during callbacks.

=head2 ResetMassData()

This resets the mass properties to the sum of the mass properties of the fixtures. This normally does not need to be called unless you called SetMassData to override the mass and you later want to reset the mass.

=head2 SetActive( $flag )

Set the active state of the body. An inactive body is not simulated and cannot be collided with or woken up. If you pass a flag of true, all fixtures will be added to the broad-phase. If you pass a flag of false, all fixtures will be removed from the broad-phase and all contacts will be destroyed. Fixtures and joints are otherwise unaffected. You may continue to create/destroy fixtures and joints on inactive bodies. Fixtures on an inactive body are implicitly inactive and will not participate in collisions, ray-casts, or queries. Joints connected to an inactive body are implicitly inactive. An inactive body is still owned by a b2World object and remains in the body list.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<bool> C<$flag>

=back

=head2 SetAngularDamping( $angularDamping )

Set the angular damping of the body.

Should this body be treated like a bullet for continuous collision detection?
