Physics Body

Definitions

1. A component attached to a game object that gives it physical properties — mass, velocity, friction, and collision shape — so the physics engine can simulate realistic movement, gravity, and collisions. Available in Unity, Godot, SpriteKit, and other engines.

   In plain English: An invisible shell around a game object that tells the physics engine how heavy it is, how it bounces, and what shape it has for collision detection.

   Example: "Added a physics body to the crate so it tumbles realistically when the player kicks it."
