Inverse in Chipmunk
«

What do m_inv ( inverse of mass) and i_inv (inverse of moment of inertia) of a body mean?
I have asked this question in Chipmunk Forum but nobody replies.
Thank you

The inverse of a number x is 1/x.

It's just used to precalculate the inverse of the mass and inertia, because the mass and inertia usually is only set once. A division is very slow to calculate, so multiplying with the inverse does the same much faster.
