physics-and-movement

What problem does it solve?

This guide helps developers implement and reason about 2D physics and movement in FlatRedBall2, covering velocity, acceleration, drag, gravity, and common motion patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Coordinate system and physics properties: Y+ up, velocity, acceleration, and drag.
• Kinematic integration and update order: position and velocity are updated with gravity and drag for smooth motion.
• Movement patterns: horizontal movement, jumping, rotation-based thrust, and projectile motion; includes random spawning utilities with GameRandom.
• Practical use case: build platformers and top-down shooters with realistic motion.

Quick Start

Start a sample project, create an entity, apply velocity and acceleration, and observe movement under gravity and drag.
