It's hard to tell anything else than I've just said based on this information. If you use .animate() with each coordinates you get then you have to set the duration to a smaller number as jQuery queues up sequential animations by default, so the new one is only executed if the previous one is finished. This makes the animation smoother but it will react slower to sudden changes in the movement depending on the duration. You can also stop the current animation as you get new coordinates and start an other one based on them. For smooth movements animating is also necessary even if you update the position on every mousemove event (see the discussion I mentioned).
But using purely the server for smooth animations ... I don't really now how fast web sockets are (network connection and CPU time used) but it sounds a bit hard to carry out -- at least for me :) On Jan 12, 11:11 pm, meneldor <[email protected]> wrote: > I compute where to move my object server side for better control.
