I am trying to create game where somenone throw a bomb . I am wondering how I can have an bomb react in a way that is represented by the following picture :
Is there are any tools in Box2D that can help me achieve this? I have already created bomb which are effected by gravity and forces. But I don't know how I need to throw the bomb?
Here how I created the bomb
Body bomb;
BodyDef bdef = new BodyDef();
FixtureDef fdef = new FixtureDef();
CircleShape bombBall = new CircleShape();
bdef.type = BodyType.DynamicBody;
fdef.restitution = 0.4f;
bigBall.setRadius(1f/PPM);
bdef.position.set(0/PPM, 10f/PPM);
fdef.shape = bombBall;
fdef.density = 0;
ball = world.createBody(bdef);
ball.createFixture(fdef);
And here in my render methot I apply linear Impulse
ball.applyLinearImpulse(.09f, 0.09f, ball.getPosition().x, ball.getPosition().y, true);
As it was mentioned in comments you need to apply linear inpulse to your bomb. It's pretty easy thing. You only need to make something like this
body.applyLinearImpulse(your_x_impulse,your_y_impulse, body.getPosition().x, body.getPosition().y, true);
where your_x_impulse and your_y_impulse are mass*velocity x and y accordingly.
