As I venture into the world of web development, I am currently working on creating a game where the main objective is to avoid touching moving circles with the cursor. My approach involved using a mouseenter event as shown in the JSFiddle example below:
$("#"+circleName).mouseenter(function(){
$(this).attr("class", "redcircle");
});
While this successfully changes the color of the circles to red when the cursor hovers over them, it fails to detect collisions when the circle passes through the stationary cursor. Is there a more effective method to achieve this?
After modifying the mouseenter event to a hover event, I noticed that it detects contact between the animated circles and the motionless cursor. However, there appears to be a slight delay. Can anyone offer insights into why this might occur?
This issue seems reminiscent of a problem discussed here, hinting at a potential browser bug impacting the functionality:
getting a mouseenter event from a still mouse entering an animated element
