[rhiller]

Nice work! I forked it and added touchstart detection for mobile browsers.

Hi there... I wanted to detect touchstart too... @rhiller could you kindly tell me which lines you modify to make it work on cellphones?

Thanks... Stay safe

Now, my dear friend... I would like to share the keyboard detection snippet... which I just figured out... Thanks so much!

jqDocument.one("keypress", function (event) { mouseX = event.which; mouseY = event.which; console.log("key pressed: " + mouseX); });
