Is there a Physics API? 🤔

[Photics]

@MrAddy

The main issue I found,and do not understand, is that although there is no function to be created from two dynamics, or a dynamic onto static, something is fired to make the rebound, and then use the values such as bounce. So I have been looking, although I think in the wrong place, to find a listener that fires just before the bounce function is fired.

Is this making sense ?

I'm not sure. Do you mean collision detection? I think there was some discussion about that in another thread.

Ah, yeah... it was your thread... Elements hitting each other with Physics - #2 by MrAddy

...but didn't someone figure out how to add scoring to the pinball example?

So, we know that Hype is being conservative about adding Physics settings. It's not really a game development platform, but it could be.

Here's what I learned so far today...

• The "Include in document head" feature is nice. I went to manually add the head code after dragging matter.js into my Hype project – but it was already there.
• I played with the matter.js "getting started" code, by putting it in a Hype element, and the matter.js box was pushed below the Hype area. This suggests that mixing matter.js and Hype is not so straightforward.
• I tried using the "getting started" code without loading a separate matter.js file. If Hype physics is based on matter.js, shouldn't it already be there? Well, nothing happened. Perhaps the matter.js is highly customized. Perhaps it has a different name, hidden in the letter scheme. The next step is to try and see if the words "Engine", "World" or "Bodies" are used.
