<p>The main module.</p>
<p>HardonCollider will automatically handle - but not resolve - collisions.
It uses search data structure - a spatial hash - to quickly find colliding shapes.</p>
<p>A spatial hash is simply a grid that is laid over the whole scene in which a shape can occupy
several cells. To find shapes that may be colliding, you simply need to look which shapes occupy
the same cell. You can specify the cell size in the <a href="#hardoncollider-init"><code>init()</code></a> function.</p>
<p>To get a less boring explanation on how to use this, see the tutorial (once it's there).</p>

<p>Sets the different callbacks. The second calling style let's you specify the callbacks by name, see the example.</p>
<p>If <code>nil</code> is passed as any callback, the callback will not be changed.</p>
<p>Each callback has the following prototype:
<pre><code class="lua">function callback(dt, shape_one, shape_two, mtv_x, mtv_y)</code></pre>
The two <code>shape</code> parameters are the colliding shapes. The last two parameters, <code>mtv_x</code> and <code>mtv_y</code>
define the <em>minimum translation vector</em>, i.e. the direction and magnitude shape_one has to be moved so that
the collision will be resolved.</p>

2011-01-24 19:36:04 +00:00
<p>Checks for collisions and call callbacks. Use this in <code>love.update(dt)</code>.</p>
<p>A maximum time delta can be specified. <code>dt</code> will be chopped up in slices
not bigger than this maximum and the scene is updated for each time slice.</p>
<p>Note that the delta time has no effect on the collision detection itself, but
will be passed to the callback functions.</p>
<div class="arguments">Parameters:

<dd>The time since the last update.</dd>

2011-02-01 22:38:13 +00:00
<p>Automatically call <code>hardoncollider.update(dt)</code> after each <code>love.update(dt)</code>.</p>
<p>Basically overwrites <code>love.update(dt)</code> with the following function:</p>
<pre><code class="lua">function love.update(dt)
_old_love_update(dt)
hardoncollider.update(dt)
end</code></pre>
<p>You can define a maximum time step. If <code>dt</code> is bigger than this step, the
2011-02-07 16:43:47 +00:00
new <code>update</code> function will be called up to <code>times</code> times with a <code>dt</code>
2011-02-01 22:38:13 +00:00
smaller or equal to the maximum time step:</p>
2011-02-07 16:43:47 +00:00
<pre><code class="lua">local i = 1
while dt &gt; max_step do
2011-02-01 22:38:13 +00:00
update(max_step)
dt = dt - max_step
2011-02-07 16:43:47 +00:00
i = i + 1
if i &gt; times then return end
2011-02-01 22:38:13 +00:00
end
update(dt)</code></pre>
<p>If <code>max_step</code> is bigger than <code>1</code>, it is assumed to declare a
minimum frame rate.</p>
2011-02-07 16:43:47 +00:00
<p>If <code>times</code> is omitted, it is set to <code>1</code> and the code is equivalent to
<code class="lua">update(math.min(dt, max_step))</code></p>
2011-02-01 22:38:13 +00:00
<p>Once set, you can disable the auto update with
<a href="#hardoncollider-setNoAutoUpdate"><code>setNoAutoUpdate()</code></a>, but beware that this
might break other libs that hook into love.update, e.g.
<a href="http://vrld.github.com/hump/#gamestate">hump.gamestate</a>. To prevent unexpected
side effects, it's best practice to call <code>setAutoUpdate()</code> after any other
library hooked itself into <code>love.update()</code></p>

<p>Remove a shape from the collision detection system. Note that if you remove a shape in
the <code>start</code> or <code>persist</code> callback, other shapes might still have
collided with it, so the shape will be argument to the other calls of <code>start</code>
or <code>persist</code>. In any case, the <code>stop</code> callback will be called
in the next call to <code>update</code> for each shape which the removed shape collided with.</p>

<p>Shape classes with collision detection methods.</p>
<p>This defines methods to move, rotate and draw shapes created with <code>hardoncollider.add*</code>.</p>
<p>As each shape is at it's core a Lua table, you can attach values and add functions
to it. Be careful though not to use keys that name a function or start with an underscore,
e.g. <code>move</code> or <code>_groups</code>, since these are used internally. Everything
else is fine.</p>
<p>If you don't want to use the full blown module, you can still use these
classes to test for colliding shapes.
They might also be useful for doing GUI stuff, e.g. when testing if the
mouse hovers a button.</p>
<p>Some functions (<code>getAxes</code> and <code>projectOn</code>) are left
undocumented, as they have little value outside the scope of collision detection.</p>

<p>Construct a polygon.</p>
<p>At least three points that are not collinear (being on a straight line) are needed to construct the polygon.
