turbo.js is a barebones library (a port of NanoCL[1]). It - doesn't support hardware or drivers that still don't support hp float textures (all things Apple basically)[2] - requires you to use GLSL (I'm the creator of turbo.js) [1] - https://github.com/turbo/NanoCL [2] - https://github.com/turbo/js/blob/dev/turbo.js#L45-L135

Please report to http://github.com/turbo/js. I can't track issues on HN.

Hi, please report any issues to the repo at http://github.com/turbo/js. The more hardware combo test data I have, the sooner I can debug these faults. If you have any friends with exceptionally weird configs, please get them to test, too :-) BTW: If you get the "Ah snap" error, there is some diagnostic data in the console. Please include that in any issue report. Cheers.

weird: > Ah snap! There was no error compiling the test kernel or running it, but the numbers don't check out. Please report your browser (+ version) and hardware configuration to us, so we can try to fix this. Deviation was 0.673000000262012. Latest Chrome on a macbook air. Looks like at least one other person has had this issue, I'll report my experience as well. https://github.com/turbo/js/issues/1
