Hey, welcome to the forum!

Great to have you here!

Your Sketch is good!

The “if” is not really necessary.

Also, in my version you can click the mouse to start the player.

Warm regards,

Chrisir

here is my version :

float plposX;
float plposY;

float mouseXDesired, mouseYDesired; 

float easing = 0.05;

void setup() {
  //fullScreen();
  size(600, 600);
  plposX = width/2;
  plposY = height/2;
  mouseXDesired=plposX;
  mouseYDesired=plposY; 

  cursor(CROSS);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);

  //direction line
  strokeWeight(5);
  stroke(255, 255, 255, 100);
  line(plposX, plposY, mouseXDesired, mouseYDesired);

  //player display
  fill(255);
  noStroke();
  ellipse(plposX, plposY, 40, 40);

  //player movement
  plposX+= (mouseXDesired-plposX)*easing;
  plposY+= (mouseYDesired-plposY)*easing;
}

void mousePressed() {
  mouseXDesired=mouseX;
  mouseYDesired=mouseY;
}
