In the initialization of the joint, you can use GetPosition() of the two bodies to get their current position (in the form of a b2Vec2), so you dont have to go look for them.

Thanks for these tutorials!

You should probably try putting lots of little joints together to make a rope (search the box2d forums for more info and known problems)

Nice!!! I love this!!! This’ll help me make a physics game, that’s for sure…

One question: Is it possible to make a “Leash type joint? (Like two dogs leashed together, if one is stationary, it can move ANYWHERE in the circle of movement, not just the circumference)
