I'm working on a project that includes an animated cat. I want to create this as a box2D-based character, so I can interact with it, but also have it be able to walk/jump/etc. from behavioral code triggers. I really want to build an interactive ragdoll cat, if that gives a clearer image.
I have read a lot of box2D tutorials, but I haven't found much of anything about building & using complex characters (I'm looking at at least 25-30 joined bodies to make the cat). Obviously there's a lot of complexity with dealing with a 4 legged critter without having it collapse into a gravity-induced heap.
Can anyone point me at good tutorials on the topic?
