Quick Touch Events 2 (easing)

  1. // no scrolling on mobile
  2. document.addEventListener('touchmove', e => e.preventDefault(), {
  3.   passive: false
  4. });
  5.  
  6. const hasTouch =

  55. let dotX = 100,
  56.   dotY = 100,
  57.   touchX = 200,
  58.   touchY = 150,
  59.   damp = 12,
  60.   dotEl = dot(dotX, dotY, 20, 'red');
  61.  
  62. document.addEventListener(moveOrTouchMove, e => {
  63.   const { x, y } = touchify(e);

  65.   touchY = y;
  66. });
  67.  
  68. function loop() {

Move your mouse on desktop or your finger on mobile – watch the red dot follow…

This is a simpler version of some of the things used in yesterdays post – just a quick way to normalize touch events – just one of many ways to do this – for simple stuff this is my goto.

If you want to try it out on its own page – take a look here (specifically good for trying it on mobile).

You’ll probably want a to use a meta tag like this – for the full effect.

  1. <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

Point DIV at Another DIV (Angle Between Two Points)

  1. const dot = document.createElement('div')
  2. Object.assign(dot.style, {
  3.   position: 'absolute',
  4.   left: '100px', 
  5.   top: '100px',
  6.   width: '10px', 
  7.   height: '10px',
  8.   transform: 'translate(-5px, -5px)',
  9.   background: 'black'
  10. });
  11. document.body.appendChild(dot);
  12.  
  13. const pointer = document.createElement('div');
  14. Object.assign(pointer.style, {
  15.   position: 'absolute',
  16.   left: '-10px', 
  17.   top: '-5px',
  18.   width: '20px', 
  19.   height: '10px',
  20.   background: 'red'
  21. });
  22. document.body.appendChild(pointer);
  23.  
  24. // desktop only (`touchmove` needed for mobile)
  25. document.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
  26.   const dx = parseFloat(dot.style.left) - e.clientX;
  27.   const dy = parseFloat(dot.style.top) - e.clientY;
  28.   const angle = Math.atan2(dy, dx) / Math.PI * 180;
  29.  
  30.   pointer.style.transform = `
  31.     translate(${e.clientX}px, ${e.clientY}px)
  32.     rotate(${angle}deg)
  33.   `;
  34. });

Moving your mouse around the page, you’ll notice the red div always points at the black div. (more…)

Draw a Spiral with Resize

  1. const canvas = document.body.appendChild(
  2.   document.createElement('canvas')
  3. );
  4. const c = canvas.getContext('2d');
  5.  
  6. function resize() {
  7.   canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
  8.   canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
  9.   draw();
  10. }
  11.  
  12. function draw() {
  13.   c.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
  14.   c.fillStyle = 'blue';
  15.  
  16.   const iter = 300,
  17.         halfWidth = window.innerWidth / 2,
  18.         halfHeight = window.innerHeight / 2;
  19.   let rad = 0, theta = 0, x, y;
  20.   for (let i = 0; i < iter; i++) {
  21.     x = halfWidth + rad * Math.cos(theta);
  22.     y = halfHeight + rad * Math.sin(theta);

Expanding on yesterdays post, this draws a resizable sprial on a canvas.
