Sometimes js fails on mobile devices #34

In particular in firefox on mobile there is an unknown exception somewhere. The socket connection IS supported but doesn't work well.

Maybe it is just the data transfer is too high and the phone craps out? That would explain the inconsistency.

This is probably due to the single-threaded nature of firefox and other mobile browsers. It works pretty well on the android browser as well as chrome.

Generally if we have a ridiculous amount of processing in the javascript and data processing, we won't have much left over for expensive DOM updates. In chrome we have a thread devoted to updating and repainting the DOM so it goes much much better. I am not entirely sure if a HTML5 pixi.js solution would remedy this, but maybe.
