Touch Gremlins about gremlins.js

[fzaninotto]

Awesome!

Would you like to work on a new gremlin species using your lib as a dependency?

I might take a look at this, but don't expect it to be in a short term...

Would really love this as well!

I don't see it in the docs, but a callback after each gremlin might be interesting. the callback should send the gremlin's event settings, like xy position, target element, but also what kind of gesture, rotation and scale was done by the gremlin...

[fzaninotto]

Asynchronous gremlins is already implemented, see https://github.com/marmelab/gremlins.js/blob/master/src/main.js#L57

Also, getting details about what gremlins did is the purpose of the logger, which can be injected to gremlins (see for instance https://github.com/marmelab/gremlins.js/blob/master/src/species/clicker.js#L128)

+1 ( BTW great work guys )

I am currently working on it in my fork, demo is over here.

Works already a bit, now have to find out if all the properties (rotation, direction angle, scaling) is calculated as it should. But already looks cool!

Already looks awesome... looking forward to use this gremlin myself...

Well, i got it working, the basics. I thought i was almost done, but then i thought about the whole math aspect of rotation and scaling, and i should implement something like transform matrixes etc. My math doesn't isn't that good, maybe somebody can help?

The basics work, so the Gremlin is already usable, the only thing is that the Gremlin gesture settings aren't correctly applied to the touches that are triggered.

Fixed it, and was easier then i thought. What a fresh view can do... :-)

[fzaninotto]

Fixed in #56
