I'm trying to make a cursor that leaves a trail of magic dust like in that intro to any Disney film: example. So the way I see it is it's split into two parts. 1. the trail and 2. similar trail that falls and fades out. So far I have made the basic trail work quite well, the code below is for the falling trail and essentially a copy of it with a css animation..
The problem I'm having is it's jittering a lot. I'm guessing the css animation is not great for performance and is causing this to really jitter on my page. I've just read up on requestAnimationFrame but am new to this so not sure how to implement it.. How could I use requestAnimationFrame instead of css here?
I also think creating the animation custom in js would allow there to also be a random offset in the animation of the falling particles.. much more like in the video.
window.addEventListener('mousemove', function (e) {
//trail
[1, .9, .8, .5, .25, .6, .4, .3, .2].forEach(function (i) {
var j = (1 - i) * 50;
var elem = document.createElement('div');
var size = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10 * i) + 'px';
elem.style.position = 'fixed';
elem.style.zIndex = 6;
elem.style.top = e.pageY - window.scrollY + Math.round(Math.random() * j - j / 2) + 'px';
elem.style.left = e.pageX + Math.round(Math.random() * j - j / 2) + 'px';
elem.style.width = size;
elem.style.opacity = "0.5";
elem.style.height = size;
elem.style.background = 'hsla(' +
Math.round(Math.random() * 160) + ', ' +
'60%, ' +
'90%, ' +
i + ')';
elem.style.borderRadius = size;
elem.style.pointerEvents = 'none';
document.body.appendChild(elem);
window.setTimeout(function () {
document.body.removeChild(elem);
}, Math.round(Math.random() * i * 1000));
});
