Constraints
abstract class CP::Constraint
inherits Reference
#
A constraint is something that describes how two bodies interact with each other (how they constrain each other). Constraints can be simple joints that allow bodies to pivot around each other like the bones in your body, or they can be more abstract like the gear joint or motors.

Methods#
#collide_bodies? : Bool#
Are the two bodies connected by the constraint allowed to collide or not?
(defaults to false)
#error_bias : Float64#
Rate at which joint error is corrected.
Defaults to (1.0 - 0.1) ** 60.0 meaning that it will correct 10% of the error every 1/60th of a second.
#impulse : Float64#
Get the most recent impulse applied by this constraint.
To convert this to a force, divide by the timestep passed to
Space#step. You can use this to implement breakable joints to check
if the force they attempted to apply exceeded a certain threshold.
#max_bias : Float64#
The maximum rate at which joint error is corrected.
(defaults to INFINITY)
#max_force : Float64#
The maximum force that this constraint is allowed to use.
(defaults to INFINITY)
#post_solve(space : Space)#
The post-solve method that is called before the solver runs (can be overridden in a subclass).
#pre_solve(space : Space)#
The pre-solve method that is called before the solver runs (can be overridden in a subclass).
