Fitts's law, published in the 1950s, describes a basic pointing truth: small distant targets take longer to acquire than large nearby ones. There is a practical reason this matters in games: Difficulty curves work best when they remix known ideas; a new obstacle is easier to learn if one part of it already feels familiar. A perfect run is mostly a collection of mistakes that did not happen this time.

A little game-room trivia

Cup-and-ball toys appear in cultures around the world. The rules are almost comically simple—catch one object with another—which is exactly why mastery can become so addictive. Meanwhile, this bit of history is hard to resist: Archery targets use concentric scoring rings because precision is easiest to compare when distance from a center point becomes the score. It is basically geometry wearing sports equipment.
