## Description

Crixu Tiltwall adds a full-bleed hero block for the block editor whose background
is a scrolling image gallery — your photos arranged into columns that auto-scroll
endlessly, alternating direction, with an optional flat or 3D parallax-style tilt.
A Cover-block-style color overlay sits on top, and any inner blocks (headings, buttons,
paragraphs, etc.) render above that, just like the core Cover block.

Use it to build an eye-catching hero section, header, or landing page background
without a page builder — a lightweight alternative to the Cover block for sites 
that want a moving, gallery-driven backdrop instead of a single static image or 
video.

 * Full-bleed hero background built from an image gallery you select in the block
   editor
 * Endless auto-scrolling columns (a background slider effect), alternating direction
   per column
 * Adjustable tilt: none, flat (2D), or 3D parallax-style perspective
 * Configurable columns (3–6), scroll speed, and minimum height
 * Cover-block style overlay color and opacity
 * Respects `prefers-reduced-motion` for accessibility
 * No build step — works out of the box, no bundler or npm install required

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Tiltwall A full-bleed hero background of tilted, endlessly auto-scrolling image
   columns with an adjustable overlay. Place any blocks on top, like the Cover block.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `wp-content/plugins/crixu-tiltwall`, or install directly
    through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. Add the “Tiltwall” block from the block inserter (category: Design).

## FAQ

### Do I need a build step to use or modify this plugin?

No. The editor script is plain JavaScript using WordPress’s registered globals (`
wp.blocks`, `wp.element`, etc.), so no bundler is required.

### How many images do I need?

The block works with any number of images; fewer than the columns × 6 minimum are
cycled to fill every column.

### How is this different from the Cover block or a background slider plugin?

It’s built to feel like a natural extension of the Cover block — same overlay color/
opacity controls, same “place any blocks on top” pattern — but instead of one static
image or video, the background is a multi-column image gallery that auto-scrolls
with an optional parallax-style tilt.

### Will it work with my theme?

Yes. It’s a standard block that renders inside your theme’s content area and doesn’t
require a block theme, though it supports wide and full alignment where your theme
allows it.

### Does the auto-scroll affect accessibility or performance?

Motion automatically stops for visitors with `prefers-reduced-motion` enabled, and
background images are lazy-loaded so they don’t block initial page render.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.2

 * Hardened `overlayColor` (now validated with `sanitize_hex_color()`, falling back
   to the default if invalid) and `minHeightUnit` (now checked against an allowlist
   of real CSS units) against crafted block attribute values that bypass the editor
   UI.

#### 1.0.1

 * Set an explicit `sizes` attribute on hero background images instead of letting
   WordPress default it to ~100vw. Tiles render at roughly 150-300px, so the default
   was pulling the largest srcset candidate for every tile — fixing this cut ~636KB
   off a page with this block in a real-world audit.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release.
