How to make shape translate to x and y of mouse, when you click once on a position.

I would like it to move, for example, from point 0, 10 to point 500, 230. But I would like it to slowly move from one point to another... I don't want teleportation... How to do this ?

hey PixelDeBurner,
im about to do it soon too so i can only give you my idea.
you got the source and destination positions so u can both save and then for example just add sx += (sx-dx)/abs(sx-dx) and sy += (sy-dy)/abs(sy-dy) in each update.
i hope my calcualtions are correct, im in a bit of a hurry but i think you know what i mean

edit: for measurement of how fast the shape moves just compare a speed attribute with the delta of the update method.

Simplest/best way to do it IMO is to use a simple tween engine. This has the added bonus of giving your animation a bit more flare than a boring linear easing.

this looks interesting. i tried it and wrote a particle class. now this particle should follow my mouse so i did:



its working fine but is it right? i read that i should put this actually in the ini() method?!

edit: also the closer the particle gets to my cursor the slower it moves. can i turn this off somehow?
