AntiGame Origin

An idea (The Antigame forum is still down so I leave it here ):

The idea is to allow navigation using horizontal-scrolling [!] if the viewport is wider than the content [!].

On galaxy, highscore, messages, etc, to move to the "next/previous" page, for example:

On Alliance for navigate between tabs maybe and on other pages for navigate between planets (or moons if you are in a moon), for example:

Interesting idea, i'll include it with the next version - but this works only with the wheel scrolling, not with using the left or right click.

Of course, I was talking about the wheel, but horizontal scrolling (some mouses like the one in the picture allow it, or the touchpad in apple macbooks with the two fingers gesture).

Sorry if I didn't explain it very well, English is not my native language.

EDIT: The two-finger gesture of macbooks could be a problem, is very very very very easy do an accidental horizontal scroll with it, it should have some error margin and the posibility of disable or config it in the options.
EDIT2: Another solution for the touchpad issue could be do the page change only if the horizontal scroll is bigger than the vertical scroll, with a margin of error, like be at least 2 or 3 times bigger.

I was talking about this kind of touchpad viewology.net/wp-content/uploa…Pro-13-Giant-Touchpad.jpg where the scroll (horizontal and vertical) is made using two fingers (using one finger you move the pointer, using two you scroll), not touchscreen, but you are right, touchscreens need a solution too.

EDIT: I made a little script for testing the scroll handling.

EDIT2:It uses a timer for grouping some consecutive events, very close in time (200ms), and handling them as one unique event. It's only a scroll test so I don't check the viewport size.
