Hi!  
How to add physics to a bitmap text?  
To add physics to an image is easy:  
this.physics.add.image(0, 0, ‘ball’);  
Unfortunately, this.physics.add.bitmapText(0, 0, ‘font’, ‘В’); doesn’t work.  
Is there any solution?

It seems I solved the problem with the help of **existing(child)**:

let text = this.add.bitmapText(0, 0, ‘font’, ‘abc’);  
this.physics.add.existing( text );

After that physics works on the object.
