Show HN: Freeze Trap

https://deepanwadhwa.github.io/freeze_trap/

A game made with vanilla JS and HTML5 Canvas. The goal is to trap bouncing balls by drawing boundaries over them but the balls hate your cursor so they will try to run away.

--There is a paint pollock option. It's inspired by jackson pollock, the painter. if you let it run for 5,6 minutes, the screen will turn into a pollock painting (-ish).

--It was a fun personal project.

I think it's easier on mobile, I just drew a circle and then waited for the ball to go in, then lifted my finger. Running away from the cursor probably fixes that, on desktop. Cool idea.

This is a lot of fun.

I'm surprised how much more difficult it is when there's three than two... They never seem to all be in the same place!
