How to move object to target naturally and smoothly?

Can somebody fix it script to make it works properly?
What I expects:
Run script
Click at the canvas to set target (circle)
Object (triangle) starts to rotate and move towards to target (circle)
Change target at any time
How it works:
Sometimes object rotates correctly, sometimes isn't
Looks like one half sphere works well, another isn't
Thanks!
// prepare 2d context
const c = window.document.body.appendChild(window.document.createElement('canvas'))
.getContext('2d');
c.canvas.addEventListener('click', e => tgt = { x: e.offsetX, y: e.offsetY });
rate = 75 // updates delay
w = c.canvas.width;
h = c.canvas.height;
pi2 = Math.PI * 2;
// object that moves towards the target
obj = {
x: 20,
y: 20,
a: 0, // angle
};
// target
tgt = undefined;
// main loop
setInterval(() => {
c.fillStyle = 'black';
c.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
// update object state
if (tgt) {
// draw target
c.beginPath();
c.arc(tgt.x, tgt.y, 2, 0, pi2);
c.closePath();
c.strokeStyle = 'red';
c.stroke();
// update object position
// vector from obj to tgt
dx = tgt.x - obj.x;
dy = tgt.y - obj.y;
// normalize
l = Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
dnx = (dx / l);// * 0.2;
dny = (dy / l);// * 0.2;
// update object position
obj.x += dnx;
obj.y += dny;
// angle between +x and tgt
a = Math.atan2(0 * dx - 1 * dy, 1 * dx + 0 * dy);
// update object angle
obj.a += -a * 0.04;
}
// draw object
c.translate(obj.x, obj.y);
c.rotate(obj.a);
c.beginPath();
c.moveTo(5, 0);
c.lineTo(-5, 4);
c.lineTo(-5, -4);
//c.lineTo(3, 0);
c.closePath();
c.strokeStyle = 'red';
c.stroke();
c.rotate(-obj.a);
c.translate(-obj.x, -obj.y);
}, rate);

This turned out to be a bit more challenging than I first thought and I ended up just re-writing the code.
The challenges:
Ensure the ship only rotated to the exact point of target. This required me to compare the two angle from the ship current position to where we want it to go.
Ensure the target did not rotate past the target and the ship did not translate past the target. This required some buffer space for each because when animating having this.x === this.x when an object is moving is very rare to happen so we need some room for the logic to work.
Ensure the ship turned in the shortest direction to the target.
I have added notes in the code to better explain. Hopefully you can implement this into yours or use it as is. Oh and you can change the movement speed and rotation speed as you see fit.

Space-Ship movement - simulation

I have written some code to simulate a gravitation-free movement of a ship with a single thruster. Most of the time it works, and the ship reaches it's destination perfectly, but just sometimes it accelerates infinitively. But I can't figure out, why?
seek(target) {
var desired = p5.Vector.sub(target, this.position); // A vector pointing from the location to the target
if (desired.mag()>0.1){
this.orientation = desired;
if (this.velocity.heading() - desired.heading() > 0.01 && this.velocity.mag() >0.01) {
this.orientation = this.velocity.copy().mult(-1);
}
if ((this.velocity.mag()*this.velocity.mag())/(2*(this.maxForce/this.mass)) > desired.mag()) {
this.orientation.mult(-1);
}
this.applyForce(this.orientation.normalize().mult(this.maxForce/this.mass));
} else {
this.velocity = createVector(0,0);
}
}
You can test the result here:
https://editor.p5js.org/Ahiru/sketches/r1rQ9-T5m

The issue of the ship object going past the target is caused by the magnitude delta being too small for the increment that the ship moves in.
In order to get the spaceship object to land on the selected point you need to modify the seek method:
seek(target) {
var desired = p5.Vector.sub(target, this.position); // A vector pointing from the location to the target
if (desired.mag()>.01){
The object is moving in increments that can cause desired.mag to go from a number that is greater than .01 as the object approaches to another magnitude that is larger than .01 as the object passes the target and moves away.
modify
if (desired.mag() > .01)
to
if (desired.mag() > 2.0)
for example and the ship will be captured and land on the target and stay there until another target is selected.
Here is a working example with the delta set to equal the diameter of the target so that the ship appears to land on the surface of the target.
let v;
var targetDiameter = 12;
function setup() {
pixelDensity(1);
createCanvas(1000, 1000);

// Call the appropriate steering behaviors for our agents
v.seek(target);
v.update();
v.display();

I'm never using p5js before but I think it's because of the applyForce() , it's keep adding new force when user click.
applyForce(force) {
this.acceleration.add(force);}

Follow image to mouse with rotation on Javascript

How make Santa follow to mouse with rotation and own speed, not mouse speed?
Where mouse now - it's destination, where go santa with own speed.
Santa rotate with speed.
How can I do this?
Demo code
game.js
var canvas, ctx, player
function init() {
canvas = document.getElementById("canvas")
ctx = canvas.getContext( "2d" )
resizeCanvas()
player = new Player(
ctx,
canvas.width / 2,
canvas.height / 2 + 100
)
window.onresize = resizeCanvas
canvas.onmousemove = mousemove
}
function mousemove( e ) {
player.x = e.clientX * devicePixelRatio
player.y = e.clientY * devicePixelRatio
}
function render() {
ctx.clearRect( 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height )
player.draw()
}
function step() {
render()
requestAnimationFrame( step )

init()
step()

It's not trivial task with rotation.

HTML5 canvas draw a rectangle with gelatine effect

I'm creating a platformer game in javascript in which players are rectangles and they can jump on and off platforms. This is pretty straightforward but now I'm trying to add a 'gelatine effect' to the players so that when they land on a platform they move a bit(like a gelatine). I've been searching for quite some time now but I can't seem to find any good examples on how I can change the shape of a rectangle.
All I've come up with is by using #keyframes in css and i've tried implementing it, which works if I use it on html elements. This is because with the DOM elements I can access the CSSStyleDeclaration with .style but if I create a new player object I can't(as seen in my code below).
I'm not sure how I can convert the css #keyframes to javascript or if what i'm doing isn't possible.. or if there perhaps are other (better) ways to achieve my goal?
var keystate = [];
var players = [];

Jelly.
To create a jelly effect for using in a game we can take advantage of a step based effect that is open ended (ie the effect length is dependent on the environment and has no fixed time)
Jelly and most liquids have a property that they are incompressible. This means that no matter the force applied to them the volume does not change. For a 2D game this mean that for jelly the area does not change. This means we can squash the height and knowing the area calculate the width.
Thus when a object drops and hits the ground we can apply a squashing force to the object in the height direction. Simulating a dampened spring we can produce a very realistic jelly effect.
Defining the jelly
I am being a little silly as it is the season so the variables wobbla and bouncy define the dampened spring with wobbla being the stiffness of the spring from 0 to 1, with 0.1 being very soft to 1 being very stiff. Bouncy being the damping of the spring from 0 to 1, with 0 having 100% damping and 1 having no damping.
I have also added react which is a simple multiplier to the force applied to the spring. As this is a game there is a need to exaggerate effects. react multiplies the force applied to the spring. Values under 1 reduce the effect, values over 1 increase the effect.
hr and hd (yes bad names) are the real height (displayed) and the height delta ( the change in height per frame). These two variable control the spring effect.
There is a flag to indicate that the jelly is on the ground and the sticky flag if true keeps the jelly stuck to the ground.
There are also three functions to control the jelly
function createJellyBox(image,x, y, wobbla, bouncy, react){
return {
img:image,
x : x, // position
y : y,
dx : 0, // movement deltas
dy : 0,
w : image.width, // width
h : image.height, // height
area : image.width * image.height, // area
hr : image.height, // squashed height chaser
hd : 0, // squashed height delta
wobbla : wobbla, // higher values make it wobble more
bouncy : bouncy, // higher values make it react to change in speed
react : react, // additional reaction multiplier. < 1 reduces reaction > 1 increases reaction
onGround : false, // true if on the ground
sticky : true, // true to stick to the ground. false to let it bounce
squashed : 1, // the amount of squashing or stretching along the height
force : 0, // the force applied to the jelly when it hits the ground
draw : drawJelly, // draw function
update : updateJelly, // update function
reset : resetJelly, // reset function
}
}
The functions
There are three functions to control the jelly, reset, update and draw. Sorry the answer is over the 30000 character limit so find the functions in the demo below.
Draw
Draw simply draws the jelly. It uses the squashed value to calculate the height and from that calculates the width, then simply draws the image with the set width and height. The image is drawn at its center to keep calculations simpler.
Reset
Simply resets the jelly at a position defined by x and y you can modify it to remove any wobbles by setting jelly.hr = jelly.h and jelly.hd = 0
Update
This is where the hard work is. It updates the object position by adding gravity to the delta Y. It checks if the jelly has hit the ground, if it has it applies the force to the jelly.hr spring by adding to the jelly.hd (height delta) the force equal to the speed of the inpact times jelly.react
I found that the force applied should be over time so there is a little cludge (marked with comments) to apply a squashing force over time. That can be removed but it just reduces the smoothness of the jelly wobbly effect.
Last thing is to recalculate the height and move the jelly so that it does not cross into the ground.
Clear as mud cake I am sure. So feel free anyone to ask questions if there is a need to clarify.
DEMO
What would any good SO answer be without a demo. So here is a jelly simulation. Click on the canvas to drop the jelly. The three sliders on the top left control the values Wobbla, Bouncy, and React. Play witht the values to change the jelly effect. The check box turn on and off sticky, but you need a long screen to get the impact you need to bounce up. Remove the cludge code to see sticky real purpose.
As I needed a UI there is a lot of extra code that does not apply to the answer. The Answer code is clearly marked so to be easy to find. The main loop is at the bottom. I have not yet tested it on FF but it should work. If not let me know and I will fix it.

It's highly advised you use jquery (or some js lib) to avoid cross-browser issues like getting the mouse position.
You can easily get the mouse position in any browser using jquery like this:
// get the position of the canvas relative to the web page
var canvasOffset=$("#canvas").offset();
var offsetX=canvasOffset.left;
var offsetY=canvasOffset.top;
// then in the mouse handler, get the exact mouse position like this:
function handleMouseDown(e){
mouseX=parseInt(e.clientX-offsetX);
mouseY=parseInt(e.clientY-offsetY);
// Put your mousedown stuff here
}
// tell the browser to send mousedown events to the handleMouseDown function
$("#canvas").mousedown(function(e){handleMouseDown(e);});

I personally prefer a library like hammer.js. I've use it for all my projects - check it out, it's pretty good.
