Always opt to use event based architecture. It promotes loose coupling of

use BouncingBall within many games, or other applications.

My preference is usually option 3, using an event. It means you can use
your ball in other situations, where that call back to the root may or may
not be necessary. Regarding cleaning up references in event listeners, you
can use a weak reference when you call addEventListener(). Also, I often

Is it some sort of notification? (I've finished animating/I've hit a

Is it possible for you to decide wether a user is idle or not, by judging
his mouse movements? Or is it required to actually measure the usage of
particular elements? If you can suffice with the movement, it might be
enough to create a seperate 'idle checking' class which either listens to
