Box2D Gear Joint

  • A gear joint is used to connect two joints together
  • Either joint can be a revolute or prismatic joint
  • You specify a gear ratio to bind the motions together
  • joint1's angle or translation plus ratio times joint2's stays constant, angles clockwise like angle
  • It is destroyed along with either joint, or an object either joint is on
  • It turns objectB of each joint, so make each with its fixed or carrying object first, and a dynamic objectB
