On Chaim's suggestion, I'm now highlighting the switching blocks:

It seems to really work well! Thanks, Chaim!

re: Chaim's point... yep! I fixed that and it feels much better now even though some kinda strange animations can happen.

re: Toby's point... yep. That one is more annoying. I'll try to figure it out.

Yeah, also, that if I go from right to left then the right one is jumping up and down, blocking the left one from jumping over.

When you make a leap-over happen, the one to the right slides to the left onto where your mouse is. Then as soon as you move your mouse that one that is now under your mouse does a jump, even though it's not an intentional "mouse over". It's subtle but I think maybe that's what causes it to feel a bit puzzling.

I love it.

One thing that would make it more perfect: touching them from right to left across the graph still causes the jumps to happen. (This highlights a specific case in which the jump doesn’t happen, but I still expect it to.)

​See the attached video and play with it here. It's not perfect, but it's a fun little toy.
