Animated background in JS

Dependencies

This script needs the JS module Velocity to work, so since there is no packaging in this project, you have to call it from your HTML page, like that:

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/velocity/2.0.6/velocity.min.js"></script>

Getting Started

Place your images in the images folder. Prefer very small GIF or PNG image files.

Configuration is to be made in a JSON file following the example config file config.json with the right paths to your images. The configuration file needs to be called from the HTML page after Velocity is called:

<script src="config.js"></script>

Then you also need to call the main script from your webpage

<script src='animated_background.js'></script>

Finally, place an empty HTML wrapper with the id animated-background-wrapper in your HTML, outside of your content:

<div id="animated-background-wrapper"></div>

You're done!
