two issues:

1. it doesn't accept asian language inputs. 2. the scrolling direction doesn't respect my system settings. (I have unchecked natural scrolling direction on my mac)

Very cool!

I had one issue while running it via Chrome on emscripten, the Tab behavior was a bit weird (could keep clicking on the same tab and it would cycle the color change over and over).

It seems to be hardcoded natural scrolling - I'm getting it on a Windows desktop with a mouse wheel.

This is really cool. One thing - I'm on a work laptop, so a not particularly impressive Dell, and I get some mouse slowdown in the demo.

I would love to see/experiment with light version of this.

Still wrong. The scrolling direction is the opposite of your system settings.

I have my mac set to "natural" scrolling and for me the demo scrolls conventionally.

the input and scrolling is handled by GLFW, I'll look into the issue. also it's specific to the web version which is weird
