I want to build a circular menu, with bouncing bubble-like elements all positioned around a central item, kind of prezi editor navigation, but with faces.
There's probably some existing plugin but I haven't found any yet, so I'll build it.
Now, since every new item added or rollovered I want it to displace the others along the circle, I was thinking of rotating the items with simple css positioning, rather than calculated position around a path, because at some point all the images would moving to a new position calculated frame by frame.
The css option would just rotate a "ray" parent and then I'd rotate the content in the opposite direction (hoping the graphics acceleration won't blur out the image)
So can anybody give me some advice for the best approach to prevent animation stuttering or mobile slowness?
Thanks.
