Reply to this commentWhy does this need WebGL? It's not 3D. Also, you use the native screen resolution, but that is not the area you get on the canvas. Your client area will always be a bit smaller than the screen, so you would be better measuring the size of the canvas.
Reply to this commentWho told you that WebGL is for 3D only? It needs WebGL for massive GPU parallism. The population is always rendered in native screen resolution and downsampled to client area (canvas) in a second renderpass. You can see the native population in fullscreen mode (F11 / hidden menu)
