WebGL Not Enabled

If you got this error message while running CoderZ simulation, this might be because WebGL is not enabled on your browser, or your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) does not support webGL.

Please check first if your computer and browser supports WebGL, https://get.webgl.org/

If your computer supports WebGL you may find here are a few solutions:

#1: Update Chrome browser

  •  Open the Chrome settings menu (the 3 dots icon on the top tool bar)
  • Click Help
  • Choose About Goggle Chrome

Chrome will automatically look for updates and install.

A browser restart is required after installation in complete.
