love.physics

Can simulate 2D rigid body physics in a realistic manner. This module is based on Box2D, and this API corresponds to the Box2D API as closely as possible.

love.physics is not lightweight, and not even remotely simple to use. Its a ten-ton hammer designed for heavy-lifting (er...hammer...lifting?). If you are just trying to make a character jump around on blocks or the likes, then move along, nothing to see here.

Types

Body	Bodies are objects with velocity and position.
Contact	Contacts are objects created to manage collisions in worlds.
Joint	Attach multiple bodies together to interact in unique ways.
Shape	Shapes are objects used to control mass and collisions.
World	A world is an object that contains all bodies and joints.
