Error trying to run Surface explorer locally

[Ricardo Alves Mosqueira]

Hello,

I'm trying to run Surface Explorer locally but the alert "There was an
error while creating the WebGL application" appears! I tried to run
other examples and they worked fine. Can anybody help me?

Thanks,

Ricardo.

try putting the code behind a web server

if you can have command line you can do python -m SimpleHTTPServer on
the folder and a server will run on that folder.

Do the files surface.vs.glsl, surface.fs.glsl and graph-compute.js must be in the project folder?

Hi Ricardo,

There's a pretty high entry barrier for getting familiar with WebGL in
general, and although PhiloGL helps lower that bar, I think you will
still need to learn other things which are required to understand how
this project works first.

I would recommend reading a javascript book (Javascript patterns) and
or follow an OpenGL/WebGL tutorial before working with this project
(Nehe tutorials for example are pretty good http://nehe.gamedev.net/):

Once you're familiar with both things then it will be much easier for
me to help you with this project and get what you want accomplished :)

Thanks,
