Sliderbody

A sliderbody makes up the path between a sliderhead and slidertail in osu! beatmaps. The player has to follow the sliderbody along its path once the sliderhead has been clicked until the slidertail is reached. The sliderbody is the most versatile part of sliders as it can be manipulated with slider anchors and slider velocity changes. The colour of sliderbodies is determined by the combo colours used by the mappers of a beatmap.
