A frog entered your screen hunting down your mouse pointer...

Frog Troll

A personal trigonometic experiment resulted to this hideous creature.

By adding it to your app, you can append to any element the FrogTroll component.
This will add a frog to your screen that jumps arround it's parent component boundaries when the mouse pointers comes uncomfortably close to it.
It turns it's head staring always to the mouse pointer's direction and if the pointer stays still for some time (defined by you), the frog opens its mouth warning about the coming tongue hit.
If the mouse pointer doesn't get the warning, it will meet the inevitable end as the frog will launch its tongue and make it dissapear from the screen.

Usage

Requirements:

You just need a React app. The oldest working version of React is 16.3 where useEffect was introduced.

Installation and Integration:

To install the Frog Troll run npm i --save frog-troll

To integrate to your app add import {FrogTroll} from 'frog-troll' at the top of the component you want to have it.
Then inside the component where you want the Frog Troll to live add <FrogTroll options={yourOptions}/>.

Geometry

The frog troll feels uncomfortable when the pointer tries to touch it so it jumps to a random (x,y) point within the boundaries of the parent element.
Most of the magic happens in the jump() function where the orbit of the frog troll's jump is calculated.
The un-natural convention has been made that the jump follows always a perfect circle and based on this theory, we have eight cases of jumps. Considering that the starting position of the frog troll is (0,0), depending on the spot of the final position the eight cases are shown below.

• In cases a and h, the center of the frog troll's orbit circle will be on Xaxis (Case 1).
• In cases f and c, the center of the frog troll's orbit circle will be on Yaxis (Case 4).
• In cases g and b, the center of the frog troll's orbit circle will be on the line passing from final positionpoint and being parallel to Yaxis (Case 3).
• In cases e and d, the center of the frog troll's orbit circle will be on the line passing from final positionpoint and being parallel to Xaxis (Case 2).
