Variable Documentation

◆ Array

arcade_physics_manager.Array

Split balls into scoring events and still-active balls.

Advance projectile dictionaries, collect target hits, and remove expired shots.

Returns { scoring_sides, active_balls }, where scoring sides use the same left/right values as get_score_side(...).

Target rows support:

id: stable target id returned in hit rows.
paddle: paddle dictionary to test against.
owners: optional list of projectile owners that may hit this target.
exclude_owners: optional list of projectile owners ignored by this target.

Returns { active_projectiles, hits, out_of_bounds }.

◆ Callable

arcade_physics_manager.Callable

Advance a list of ball dictionaries with the same bounds step.

Advance a primary ball and any active multiball extras with one shared call.

Optional post_step(index, ball) can clamp, decorate, or normalize each ball while keeping scene-specific rules out of the shared physics manager.

The optional post_step(index, ball) callback receives index -1 for the primary ball and 0..n for extra balls.

◆ Dictionary

arcade_physics_manager.Dictionary

Move a paddle by input direction (-1, 0, or 1) while clamped to the playfield.

Create a second ball from a source ball with offset vertical velocity.

Advance a projectile without applying collision response.

Create a horizontal projectile from a source entity, such as a paddle.

◆ float

arcade_physics_manager.float

Create a reusable projectile state dictionary for arcade/action games.

◆ Vector2

arcade_physics_manager.Vector2

Create a reusable ball state dictionary.

Return true when a fast ball swept across a paddle between frames.

Return true when a circular ball overlaps a paddle rectangle.

Return true when a projectile overlaps a paddle rectangle.

Create a reusable paddle state dictionary.

inset shrinks the collision rectangle for sprites with transparent padding.

This prevents tunneling when browser frame time spikes or ball speed gets high.
