Physics2D.gravity

Description

Acceleration due to gravity.

Set this vector to change all 2D gravity in your Scene. The default is (0, -9.8).

no example available in JavaScript

//Attach this script to a 2D GameObject (for example a Sprite).
//Attach a Rigidbody component to the GameObject (Click the Add Component button and go to Physics 2D>Rigidbody 2D)

//This script allows you to change the direction of gravity in your Scene by pressing the space key in Play Mode.
