The delay (or more accurately smoothing) of the mouse position is a hack to make the mouse trail look more like a streak rather than repetitive little blobs. I call it a hack because the proper solution would be to have a line-shaped source that extends between the last and current mouse positions. Native might allow you to marginally pump up the FPS, but that wouldn't save you from the little blobs.
(edit: just to be clear, I'm not the author but this issue is common enough)
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI think the experience might benefit from showing the mouse pointer, or some other cursor that actually tracks your mouse and shows the blobs current "target". You will undoubtably lose something in the process, but I think it would be worth the tradeoff. Right now, it feels difficult to control. I can never quite get the blob to do what I want, which is crucial for an interactive experience. (What you have is already neat though!)
