Cursor: Move along edges of the board

[bastianilso]

We are re-thinking the feedback of the Whack-A-Mole cursor. Several directions are possible.

Below is Lars proposal:

Cursor: I find it more intuitive, that the cursor gets stuck on the edge of the board, when leaving the motor space, though a more dynamic version of this could be even more helpful. I imagine something like this:

We also discussed a different version where moving the cursor towards the edge creates some kind of "slow/sticky" area.

Initial implementation:

• Commit dcb12364073539da53d2561d5c333a22a4ceb817 stops the cursor from hiding (making it look 'stuck').
• Commit 39acdccce34c8e93d8b279c9f4a2dda01bdf8be2 lets the cursor move along the edges.

Further additions will depend on the level of complexity we want to introduce, especially considering that we have 4 cursors already (LR+LR mirrrored).

I think it would already be helpful enough if an arrow indicated the direction to move back.

commit e7ee1310cd6752ded438ec26849ca1125f5fa894 implements rubber clipping - when moving beyond boundaries, movement is slowed down.

I will add a few additional complimentary signifiers, to help track the cursors current position.

[bastianilso]

four latest commits adds an arrow indicator animated from the targets position back to the wall, indicating the direction of movement needed every 2 seconds.

I will try to stabilize the behavior to work with the treatment programs across all therapy sessions tomorrow.
