new b5.Material(name){b5.Material}
A Material represents a physical material and is assigned to b5.Actor fixtures which modifies their behaviour within the physics engine. Generally a material should be added to either a b5.Scene or the global b5.App's resources so that it can be managed by them.
Example showing how to create a physics material
var material = new b5.Material("floor");
material.type = "static";
material.density = 1;
material.friction = 0.1;
material.restitution = 0.5;For a complete overview of Resources see Booty5 Resources Overview

name |
string | Name of this image atlas resource |
type |
string | Type of physics material (static, dynamic or kinematic) |
density |
number | Material density, higher values make for heavier objects |
friction |
number | Material friction, lower values make objects more slippery |
restitution |
number | Material restitution, lower values make he object less bouncy |
gravity_scale |
number | Gravity scale, lower values lessen the affects of gravity on the object |
