So, here's the thing. I am using this library

This works by having a container div full of img elements, and changing their respective z-index depending on the mouse position while hovering the container. My goal is for it to work with a swiping finger instead of a hovering mouse.

After a fair bit of research I only found solutions similar to this, but it does not help me because my library uses .hover() in jquery and not the css :hover state. I also tried mmy luck with an .ontouchmove replacing the .hover() but it broke the whole thing, I'm pretty sure I did not even use it correctly, I am am pretty lost with javascript without jquery.

So how could I possibly simulate/make this work with swiping a finger on the screen ? I'm a bit lost :(
