Add in the
backgroundandgrounddisplay objects to thedrawBackground()function. Insert the objects in the group calledgameGroup.local drawBackground = function() background = display.newImage( "background.png" ) background.x = 240; background.y = 160 gameGroup:insert( background ) ground = display.newImage( "ground.png" ) ground.x = 240; ground.y = 300 local groundShape = { -240,-18, 240,-18, 240,18, -240,18 } physics.addBody( ground, "static", { density=1.0, bounce=0, friction=0.5, shape=groundShape } ) gameGroup:insert( ground ) end
The background and ground display objects are placed in the function called drawBackground(). ground has a customized physical shape that is not the same size as the original display object. If the panda happens to hit the ground, it will be able to collide with it and not fall through.
