A constant used for the sortDirection value.
Use this if your game world is narrow but tall and scrolls from the bottom to the top (i.e. Commando or a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up)
A constant used for the sortDirection value.
Use this if your game world is wide but short and scrolls from the left to the right (i.e. Mario)
A constant used for the sortDirection value.
Use this if your game world is wide but short and scrolls from the right to the left (i.e. Mario backwards)
A constant used for the sortDirection value.
Use this if you don't wish to perform any pre-collision sorting at all, or will manually sort your Groups.
A constant used for the sortDirection value.
Use this if your game world is narrow but tall and scrolls from the top to the bottom (i.e. Dig Dug)
The bounds inside of which the physics world exists. Defaults to match the world bounds.
Set the checkCollision properties to control for which bounds collision is processed.
For example checkCollision.down = false means Bodies cannot collide with the World.bounds.bottom. An object containing allowed collision flags.
If true World.separate will always separate on the X axis before Y. Otherwise it will check gravity totals first.
Local reference to game.
The World gravity setting. Defaults to x: 0, y: 0, or no gravity.
If true
the Body.preUpdate
method will be skipped, halting all motion for all bodies. Note that other methods such as collide
will still work, so be careful not to call them on paused bodies.
Used by the QuadTree to set the maximum number of iteration levels.
Used by the QuadTree to set the maximum number of objects per quad.
A value added to the delta values during collision checks.
The world QuadTree.
If true the QuadTree will not be used for any collision. QuadTrees are great if objects are well spread out in your game, otherwise they are a performance hit. If you enable this you can disable on a per body basis via Body.skipQuadTree
.
Used when colliding a Sprite vs. a Group, or a Group vs. a Group, this defines the direction the sort is based on. Default is Phaser.Physics.Arcade.LEFT_RIGHT.
Sets the acceleration.x/y property on the display object so it will move towards the target at the given speed (in pixels per second sq.)
You must give a maximum speed value, beyond which the display object won't go any faster.

Checks for collision between two game objects. You can perform Sprite vs. Sprite, Sprite vs. Group, Group vs. Group, Sprite vs. Tilemap Layer or Group vs. Tilemap Layer collisions.
Both the first and second parameter can be arrays of objects, of differing types.
