Crash on mobile

[gustav-langer]

This is a modified version of Quirk, used for this online course. It runs fine on my laptop (Windows 10, Microsoft Edge), but is unusable on my phone (Android 8, Chrome)

Error Message:

---

Defaulted to NaN results. Computing circuit values failed.

Update: I get the same issue with the unmodified Quirk version listed on this repo, http://algassert.com/quirk .

This crash makes no sense to me, as the first line of the shader source that's failing to compile specifies the precision that the error says it is not specifying. Some searching on the internet suggests that maybe I need to check for GL_FRAGMENT_PRECISION_HIGH to use precision highp float, but if high precision isn't available the simulation is very likely to return incorrect results (precision affects not just floats but index calculations used for picking what data to combine). So I suspect the fix for this issue would look like Quirk saying "Oh no! You need a newer android for this to work!" rather than actually working...
