Get the angular velocity of the Body.
The angular velocity is the rate of change of angle over time.
It is changed in World:update by applying torques, off centre forces/impulses, and angular damping. It can be set directly with Body:setAngularVelocity.
If you need the rate of change of position over time, use Body:getLinearVelocity.
Function
Synopsis
w = Body:getAngularVelocity( )
Arguments
None.
Returns
number w- The angular velocity in radians/second.
