Event System and Box2D Physics | Coding a 2D Game Engine in Java #38
0Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/4tHeAkxNg7
In this episode I go over how to build an event system based on the observer pattern. After that, I talk about how we can create a wrapper around Box2D using our physics components. This consists of copying and sending the data to Box2D so that it can use it within its own engine, then we can tweak the physics components and have that data copied appropriately. Lastly, I go over how to use ImGui to create a context window. This will make it so that when you right-click in the properties window, you are able to add new components to the active game object.
