Component double_jump is unimplemented

Thanks for making this fun project!

I noticed double_jump is listed in the API.

However, it isn't currently implemented.

• It is not exported in the list of components in boom/blob/main/boom/components/components.lua
• The double_jump module itself is incomplete and has errors. (Line 26: Compilation failed: unexpected symbol near '=')

I am using the main branch.

[Feature Request] Physics Groups

Suggestion

Allow setting physics group when adding Area component.

Background

I have a game with a large number of enemies moving every frame. When they move close to each other, they quickly overwhelm the limit of max collisions and messages are lost.

In my case, the enemies don't need to interact with each other, they only need to have collision with the player.

Should boom have a way to optimize for this situation? For example, should the API allow you to set a custom physics group when adding the area component?

Alternatives Considered

Is what I'm describing already possible with the standard Defold API?

I tried setting the physics group after an object is created, but I get the error The component could not be found.

local enemyObj = add({
	area({shape = "auto"}),
	...
})
physics.set_group(enemyObj.id, "enemy")

Non-physics commands like go.get_property work fine on the same object. I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding the fundamentals here.
