Questions and obstacles

1. Can the engine run in Spidermonkey/V8 as a standalone application?
   • Neither of these interpreters provide a window context.
   • Use browser-based interpreters for now.
   • We can provide our own GL context for Spidermonkey and V8, but this is not critical for now.
2. How can we handle game resources, like models and textures?
   • They will need to be stored in the browser cache, which could become quite large.
3. It is not possible to associate the WebGL context with multiple canvases.
   • Use a single canvas for now, created by default for the user.
   • There's some frame buffer magic we can use to support multiple display regions.
