drawElements

[unicomp21]

Somehow, the user needs to be able to control the sizeof for the indices in drawElements. Perhaps a flag in Mesh? Currently we're limited to 64k indices, need to be able to handle larger meshes, ie UNSIGNED_INT

It seems to be available only as a non standard extension: OES_element_index_uint
Do you know how common it is ?

Chrome and FireFox are both based on ANGLE, and support it. IE11 does not.

They've been pretty good about fixing other limitations. I'm sure they'll
fix this one too.

Here's an old one ...

Ok Ok, you convinced me :-) I added support for the OES_element_index_uint WebGL extension. Enable this with
new ChronosGL('#webgl-canvas', useElementIndexUint: true);

Thanks Raymond!
