take the quil pixel test challenge!

[Heow Goodman]

Hey guys, I created a sample quil sketch to show some odd behavior I'm seeing when trying to get pixel values.

https://github.com/heow/quil-pixel-test

It fails based on browser and location (local or remote), you can test it yourself just by going here.

Any thoughts as to what's going on?

P.S. Thanks Nikita for the sample code!

Hi Heow

According to screenshot by "local" you mean opening html file using file:// protocol. That way of loading html pages is tricky and browsers have some security around it. Usually I try to avoid using file:// protocol as much as possible exactly because of this. Instead, for local development, you can start a local http server using python. Just run "python -m SimpleHttpServer" in the directory with html file and then open http://localhost:8080/file.html. 

There was a similar issue a few months ago: https://github.com/quil/quil/issues/213
