Apologies, but nothing happens when I view it. Running Chrome 12.0.742.122. I see the initial raw PNG splat, but get nothing but a lot of high cpu and a blank browser screen after running a couple minutes.

If that's the case, then you don't have WebGL enabled, or your GPU is being blacklisted by your browser.

I have the same issue in Chrome on OSX, and WebGL is enabled for me. I've played some of the WebGL demo games, so I doubt it's due to my GPU being blacklisted.

#14Heh. Screen went black for a while, after which: "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
Using an old NVIDIA GeForce 6200 with driver 8.17.12.7533 on a 32-bit Windows Vista SP2, browser was Google Chrome 12.0.742.122.

Hmm, unusual. Can you see http://demoseen.com/windowpane/magister.test.html ?

#16Very neat. I'm happy to see that the demo scene magic still exists. I thought the days of seeing an animated ray traced scene from a 256 byte EXE were over. This runs fluidly on my Chrome/Sandy Bridge/Ubuntu setup.
I like the demo on the "front page", as well: http://demoseen.com/
It crashes though, when you run it with this hash: 0FP$9jj!i1!!!DPD!t!!!!!~ It spun up 5M threads before it died, which was admittedly fun to watch.

Nope. You have a js error somewhere:
Uncaught ReferenceError: S is not defined

That's not a JS error. 'S' is a function defined in WebGL, which gets pulled out and names are passed through a regex that filters out certain characters. So it's not getting a WebGL context, and thus that function never ends up being pulled into the global namespace.

I cannot, although all of the demos I've tried here work: http://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/Demo_Repository

Only thing I can think of at this point is that you have an extension inserting something into the body before the canvas. While on Magister, drop javascript:alert(document.body.firstChild) into the address bar and see if you get the canvas -- if not, that's the problem.
