Edge Cases & Failure Modes

This simulator and renderer is fairly resource intensive, and probably requires a recent computer with a decent, WebGL capable graphics card to work at all. We should consider what happens when people don't meet that minimum hardware requirement.

I added a "technical disclaimer" to the info panel.

Thinking we can design for desktop computers only for now and have a message about it when detecting a user visiting from mobile.

Regarding slow internet connectivity and graphic cards, is it something we can automatically detect as to trigger messages or should we just list a series of things in the info panel disclaimer?

We're going with a technical disclaimer for the time being. If we test on a lot of comps and find it's slow, we'll just scale down the resolution of the simulation domain. That's the best way to increase the frame rate of the simulation!
