Compatibility

As far as I know, it works on browsers as old as IE9. Any browser that supports the Canvas element should be supported. Remember to include a fallback if you're planning to support older browsers too.

Basic usage

  1. Include warpspeed.min.js into your page.
  2. call new WarpSpeed('your canvas id here')

To tweak the settings, you can use editor.html, and copy the string at the bottom, then in your page you can call new WarpSpeed('<your canvas id here>','<string from editor>')

Usage with React

  1. Copy warpspeed.js in react-integration folder, and paste it in your React file.
  2. Add 'import WarpSpeed from "./warpspeed.js"' at the top of your React file.
  3. Add 'const x = new WarpSpeed('your canvas id here')' in your componentDidMount() function.
