I've been toying around with the chipmunk physics module and I'm very impressed with it so far. I've managed to implement it into my current game project however I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way of breaking joints in-game.
To give an example, I want to have chains break if the links are shot at by the player character. Lets says that when the bullet sprite collides with the chain-link sprite, an impulse is applied to the chipmunk body that represents the chain-link. How should I go about having the joints attached to that body break when a certain amount of force is acted upon it?
I'm a total newbie when it comes to this module so please forgive me if I'm missing something blindly obvious.
