Now, the closer you are to the ellipse the faster it rotates, what i want is that the closer you are the slower it goes.

1. float angle = 0.0;
   float scalar = 20;
   float dir = 1;
   float speed = 0.01;
   float posX;
   float posY;
   float maxDist;
   
   
   void setup() {
     size(600, 600);
     maxDist = dist(0, 0, width, height);
     posX = width/2;
     posY = height/2;
   }
   
   void draw() {
     background(255);
     float x = posX + cos(angle)*scalar;
     float y = posY + sin(angle)*scalar;
     ellipse(x, y, 20, 20);
     float distance = dist(mouseX, mouseY, posX, posY);
     speed = map(distance, 0, maxDist, 0.2, -0.2);
     angle += speed*dir;
   
   }
   
   void mousePressed(){
     dir = -dir;
   
   }
   
   void mouseDragged() {
     posX = mouseX;
     posY = mouseY;
   }
