LIBRARY: testing a fast 2d algorithm to find the nearest point of a line, from another external point.. no square roots or triginometry.
controls: you can move the white points and line edges by dragging with the mouse/touch.
- orange point: point constrained in segment, nearest to external point
- blue point: point in infinite projected line, nearest to external point
got inspiration from = https://stackoverflow.com/a/6853926/15576834
new in this version: joystick replaced by mouse drags to ease operation, as suggested in telegram
