Working with alternate input controllers #259

Closed zoomclub closed 10 years ago

BaconJS looks very interesting. Wondering how easily it might extend to support new pointer controllers like Leap Motion or a stylus like the Wacom?

Would this work or is Bacon limited to a mouse pointer and qwerty events?

Bacon.js is a general purpose javascript FRP library. You can adapt any event source into a bacon.js EventStream. Have a look at Bacon.fromCallback, Bacon.fromEventTarget, Bacon.Bus for starters. The readme should get you started.

Great news for using alternate controllers with Bacon.js!

Further, until now, I've been looking into using a FSM API and saw that Bacon.js has a function for something along those lines too. In my scenario I would like to capture events and derive triggers from them to further transition states for various tools in my app plus also feed event streams to states.

I have been thinking of using the following API : http://statejs.org

At this junction State.js looks well baked and Bacon.js looks well fried, might just go well together? Who knows and thats a lot to explore, any insights to light the way are most appreciated, thanks.
