A plugin to add a bitchin' starry background to your website. See an example at http://rocketwagon.github.io/jquery-starfield/.

Documentation

To use, simply select a div element and call the .starfield() method.

How to use

    $('#starfield-div').starfield(); 

Options

Starfield has an options argument which you can use to customize its behavior:

• starDensity (default 1.0): Allows you to control how dense you want your starfield to be. Calculated based on pixel ratio. Increase for more stars, decrease for less.

• mouseScale (default 1.0): How quickly the starfield scrolls in response to mouse movement. Increase for faster movement, decrease for slower.

• seedMovement (default true): Start with a moving starfield on load. Also animates on non-mouse enabled devices.

    $('#starfield-div').starfield({     starDensity: 2.0,     mouseScale: 0.5,     seedMovement: true   });
