This needs WebGL and hangs on "Loading" otherwise, but that's only evident if you look at the Javascript console. It'd be better if it said that WebGL is needed & not available on the page.
- pierrec 1y agoI'm an HN regular so I kept in mind some people might have JS completely off. The page should correctly show the welcome screen and quick description even with zero JS (in fact those things should load instantly, everything else is deferred JS). "Loading" appears below that. I tried to make wise use of my time, and test/fix functionality on popular browsers and platforms including mobile, this really helped me figure out which aspects of compatibility testing to focus on, otherwise it's an infinite task. I'm not sure how common it is to have everything required to run this but specifically not WebGL, but if it is, I'll check and give the correct error message.
- pierrec 1y agoOK, it should now display an error message when WebGL is missing.
- rwmj 1y agoConfirmed, it shows an error now.
