Example Usage

from box2d import World, Vec2
# Create physics world
world = World(gravity=(0, -9.81))
# Create static ground body
ground = world.new_body().static().position((0, -5)).box(1, 10).build()
# Create dynamic bodies
bodybuilder = world.new_body().dynamic().box(0.5, 0.5)
bodies = [bodybuilder.position((x, 5)).build() for x in range(-5, 5)]
# Simulation loop
for _ in range(60):
    world.step(1/60, 4)
