=head1 NAME

Box2D::b2BodyDef - Holds all the data needed to construct a rigid body.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $body_def = Box2D::b2BodyDef->new();
  $body_def->type( Box2D::b2_dynamicBody );
  $body_def->position->Set( $x, $y );
  $body_def->angle( $theta );
  my $body = $world->CreateBody( $body_def );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A body definition holds all the data needed to construct a rigid body.
You can safely re-use body definitions. Shapes are added to a body after
construction.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new()

This constructor sets the body definition default values.

Returns a C<Box2D::b2BodyDef>

=head2 active()

=head2 active( $active )

Does this body start out active?

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<bool> C<$active> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<bool>

=head2 allowSleep()

=head2 allowSleep( $allowSleep )

Set this flag to false if this body should never fall asleep. Note that
this increases CPU usage.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<bool> C<$allowSleep> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<bool>

=head2 angle()

=head2 angle( $angle )

The world angle of the body in radians.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<float32> C<$angle> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<float32>

=head2 angularDamping()

=head2 angularDamping( $angularDamping )

Angular damping is use to reduce the angular velocity. The damping
parameter can be larger than 1.0f but the damping effect becomes
sensitive to the time step when the damping parameter is large.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<float32> C<$angularDamping> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<float32>

=head2 angularVelocity()

=head2 angularVelocity( $angularVelocity )

The angular velocity of the body.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<float32> C<$angularVelocity> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<float32>

=head2 awake()

=head2 awake( $awake )

Is this body initially awake or sleeping?

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<bool> C<$awake> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<bool>

=head2 bullet()

=head2 bullet( $bullet )

Is this a fast moving body that should be prevented from tunneling
through other moving bodies? Note that all bodies are prevented from
tunneling through kinematic and static bodies. This setting is only
considered on dynamic bodies.

Warning: You should use this flag sparingly since it increases
processing time.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<bool> C<$bullet> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<bool>

=head2 fixedRotation()

=head2 fixedRotation( $fixedRotation )

Should this body be prevented from rotating? Useful for characters.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<bool> C<$fixedRotation> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<bool>

=head2 linearDamping()

=head2 linearDamping( $linearDamping )

Linear damping is use to reduce the linear velocity. The damping
parameter can be larger than 1.0f but the damping effect becomes
sensitive to the time step when the damping parameter is large.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<float32> C<$linearDamping> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<float32>

=head2 linearVelocity()

=head2 linearVelocity( $linearVelocity )

The linear velocity of the body's origin in world co-ordinates.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<Box2D::b2Vec2> C<$linearVelocity> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<Box2D::b2Vec2>

=head2 position()

=head2 position( $position )

The world position of the body. Avoid creating bodies at the origin
since this can lead to many overlapping shapes.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<Box2D::b2Vec2> C<$position> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<Box2D::b2Vec2>

=head2 type()

=head2 type( $type )

The body type: C<Box2D::b2_staticBody>, C<Box2D::b2_kinematicBody>, or
C<Box2D::b2_dynamicBody>.

Note: if a dynamic body would have zero mass, the mass is set to one.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<Box2D::b2BodyType> C<$type> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<Box2D::b2BodyType>

=head2 userData()

=head2 userData( $userData )

Use this to store application specific body data.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item * C<scalar> C<$userData> (optional)

=back

Returns a C<scalar>
