How about scrolling instead of mouse move for an input? about parallax

[wagerfield]

The event system certainly needs some work. I'm getting a lot of reports of the gh-page "not working" on MacBook Pros...however it is—people just don't realise that these crazy machines have gyroscopes built into them, so the library is hooking onto the gyroscopic input and not falling back to the cursor input. I'm considering removing the automatic switching mechanism and listening for both events regardless.

Regarding scrolling, how would you envisage this working? Are you talking about the actual scroll event, or a dragging mechanism? My original intent for the library was to remove any physical interaction with the effect and have it as an automatic augmentation to your projects.

If you would like to create a fork and play around with scrolling, please send me a pull request and if I feel it works, I will of course merge it back in.

Thanks for your interest,

Matthew

re gyroscope, I ran into a similar use case when I detected for touch devices (thinking surely notebooks don't use touch screens. ;)

I played around a bit with the code to see how I could use the scroll top value to affect the controls. It kind of worked, but when I scrolled back to 0, the elements didn't quite work out so well.

Essentially, I was trying to use pageYOffset. But the goal was similar to other parallax sites where it's controlled by
scrolling.

@amboy00 there are plenty of other libraries out there that provide a parallax effect when scrolling. This is not the purpose of this library and I simply don't see how this additional input would integrate with the project without bloating the code and adding unnecessary complexities when initialising it so I am going to close this issue.

Again, if you disagree, please fork the project and have a play around with this idea and send me a pull request if you feel it works and I will review your changes.

Many thanks for your interest 😺

This library is way more slick the others I've played around with. So please keep up with the direction you think it should go. Thanks!
