Overview

Use this skill when a feature works on one machine and not another, when choosing or pinning a renderer, or when writing code that must degrade gracefully. Covers the WebGPU to WebGL 2 to Canvas fallback ladder, what each backend supports, capability detection, and the subsystems that warn once and then stop working on Canvas. Triggers on: video.AUTO, video.WEBGPU, video.WEBGL, video.CANVAS, renderer.type, supportsDepthBuffer, shaderLanguage, WebGPU, WebGL2, Canvas fallback, context loss, backend, works on my machine.

Renderer backends and graceful degradation

video.AUTO picks a backend at runtime. The same code runs on a different renderer depending on the machine, and several subsystems degrade to nothing rather than erroring. This is the root cause of most "works on my machine" reports.

The ladder

video.AUTO (the default) tries WebGPU → WebGL 2 → Canvas and uses the first that initialises.

const app = new Application(800, 600, {
    parent: "screen",
    renderer: video.AUTO,     // or video.WEBGPU / video.WEBGL / video.CANVAS
});
await app.init();

WebGL 1 is not in the ladder — 20.x made WebGL 2 the baseline, and pinning video.WEBGL rejects on a WebGL-1-only device rather than degrading.

What each backend can do

	WebGPU	WebGL 2	Canvas
sprites, tilemaps, text	✅	✅	✅
blend modes	✅	✅	✅ except `"none"`
shaders and post effects	✅	✅	❌ inert
`Light2d` glow (`drawLight`)	✅	✅	✅ cached radial gradient
normal-map lighting, `Light3d`	✅	✅	❌ inert
`Mesh`	✅	✅	⚠️ CPU-projected, no depth
`Camera3d` / depth sorting	✅	✅	❌ warns, renders wrong
`InstancedMesh`	✅	✅	⚠️ one draw per instance
GPU tilemap rendering	✅	✅	❌ per-tile CPU path

The Canvas column is the problem: none of it throws. Each of those paths warns once and then degrades or no-ops, so the game runs and looks wrong.

Two Canvas rows are worth spelling out because they are easy to misread as total failures. A Light2d still draws — the Canvas renderer bakes a radial gradient per light and blits it — what disappears is per-pixel normal-map shading, which warns once (Light2d normal-map lighting requires a GPU backend), the first time a normal-mapped sprite is drawn under a light, and then renders sprites unlit. A Mesh still draws too, sorted with the painter's algorithm and no depth buffer, so convex models look right and anything self-overlapping does not. "none" (replace, alpha included) is the one blend mode Canvas cannot express — there is no globalCompositeOperation that disables blending for the drawn area alone — so it resolves to "normal", and setBlendMode reports that back.

Detecting what you have

app.renderer.type;                    // "WebGPU" | "WebGL2" | "CANVAS"
app.renderer.supportsDepthBuffer;     // the practical "is this a GPU backend" test
app.renderer.shaderLanguage;          // "wgsl" | "glsl" | null (null on Canvas)

There are narrower flags for the features that do not travel together: supportsShaderTileLayers, supportsRetainedMesh and supportsInstancing — all three false on Canvas, true on both GPU backends. Prefer a capability flag over comparing type against a string; type is an identity check for code coupled to one backend's machinery.

For a scene that genuinely requires a GPU backend, fail loudly rather than rendering something broken:

await app.init();
if (!app.renderer.supportsDepthBuffer) {
    throw new Error("this game needs WebGL 2 or WebGPU");
}

Writing code that degrades well

Decorative effects — let them no-op. A missing vignette is fine.

Load-bearing effects — guard the carrier. If a shader draws your content rather than decorating it, the carrier renderable shows through raw when the effect is disabled: a 1×1 white texture stretched to fill a quad renders as a white box exactly where the effect should have been.

if (effect.enabled) {
    // draw the carrier the shader consumes
}

Dual-language shaders — a ShaderEffect compiles the body matching renderer.shaderLanguage. With no matching body — a GLSL-only effect on WebGPU, any effect on Canvas — the constructor warns once, leaves enabled === false, and every method becomes a no-op. Pass { glsl, wgsl } rather than a bare string, or gate on renderer.shaderLanguage.

Pinning a backend

Pin only with a reason. video.WEBGL costs you the WebGPU path and the Canvas fallback, so a WebGL-1-only device gets nothing at all.

Legitimate reasons: reproducing a backend-specific bug, a benchmark, or a known driver issue in the field.

For one-off testing you do not need to touch the settings at all: the URI fragments #webgpu, #webgl (or #webgl2) and #canvas override the renderer setting for that run, and behave exactly like passing the matching constant — #webgl on a WebGL-1-only device rejects rather than falling back.

Context loss

A GPU context can be lost at any time — tab backgrounding, driver reset, memory pressure. melonJS handles restoration on both GPU backends: WebGL recompiles every live GLShader and replays its uniform snapshot, WebGPU renegotiates a device and rebuilds its batchers, and both then emit event.ONCONTEXT_RESTORED (the paired loss event is event.ONCONTEXT_LOST).

What you must handle is your own GPU-side state. If you cached a raw texture or program handle, re-acquire it on restore rather than holding the stale one:

import { event } from "melonjs";

event.on(event.ONCONTEXT_RESTORED, (renderer) => {
    // re-acquire anything you were holding by raw handle
});

Test on the backend your users get, not the one your harness picks

video.AUTO prefers WebGPU where it exists. Headless Chromium usually has no GPU adapter and falls back to WebGL, so an automated suite can pass every run while the WebGPU path is broken — the two differ in real, throwing ways (see below). Pin the backend explicitly when it matters: renderer: video.WEBGPU, or the #webgpu / #webgl URI fragment on a page you can open by hand.

Practical differences

Frame capture orientation differs: row 0 of a toFrameTexture() capture is the bottom of the frame under WebGL and the top under WebGPU, so a GLSL body that flips with 1.0 - uv.y must not do so in its WGSL twin. The WebGPU capture also preserves alpha, where the WebGL one captures into an opaque RGB texture.
The advanced blend modes cost far more than they look. overlay, difference, hard-light, soft-light, color-dodge, color-burn, darken and lighten cannot be expressed as fixed-function blending, so on both GPU backends each such draw is bracketed individually: capture the destination, redraw offscreen, composite through BlendEffect. Fine for accents, ruinous for hundreds of objects. normal, additive, multiply, screen and exclusion are ordinary fixed-function state and cost nothing extra.
WebGPU rejects a zero-sized image source; WebGL shrugs at it. Uploading a 0-width or 0-height canvas throws OperationError: GPUQueue.copyExternalImageToTexture: External image state is not valid, from a stack that reads drawImage → addQuad → getBinding. WebGL uploads the same source without complaint, so this is a class of bug that cannot appear on one backend and stops the game dead on the other. The usual source is a Text whose string is empty or whitespace-only — it measures to nothing, so its glyph canvas has no width. Give a placeholder label a real glyph and hide it with alpha/position instead of blanking its text.
3D meshes do not honour blend modes. The mesh pass draws with its own depth/blend state; asking for one of the advanced modes logs a one-time blend mode "…" is not supported for 3D meshes warning and falls back to "normal". Gradient fills warn the same way.

Symptom → cause

symptom	cause
effect works locally, not for a user	they got the Canvas fallback, or a different GPU backend
sprites render unlit though lights are in the scene	Canvas fallback — normal-map shading is inert (check the console)
mesh looks inside-out where it overlaps itself	Canvas fallback — painter's algorithm, no depth buffer
shader works on one machine only	GLSL-only effect, AUTO chose WebGPU elsewhere — the console carries the warning
a solid box where an effect should be	carrier drawn while the effect is disabled
nothing renders at all on an old device	`video.WEBGL` pinned; WebGL 1 is rejected, not downgraded
ported shader is vertically flipped	the WebGL capture is bottom-up, the WebGPU one top-down
`copyExternalImageToTexture: External image state is not valid`	a zero-sized upload source — most often a `Text` with an empty or whitespace-only string
runs on the test machine, dies on the dev's	the harness fell back to WebGL and never exercised WebGPU
a blended mode is ignored on a mesh	meshes fall back to `"normal"`; look for the one-time warning
textures vanish after the tab is restored	cached raw GPU handles not re-acquired on context restore

## The ladder

`video.AUTO` (the default) tries **WebGPU → WebGL 2 → Canvas** and uses the first
that initialises.

```js
const app = new Application(800, 600, {
    parent: "screen",
    renderer: video.AUTO,     // or video.WEBGPU / video.WEBGL / video.CANVAS
});
await app.init();
```

WebGL 1 is not in the ladder — 20.x made WebGL 2 the baseline, and pinning
`video.WEBGL` **rejects** on a WebGL-1-only device rather than degrading.

## What each backend can do

| | WebGPU | WebGL 2 | Canvas |
|---|---|---|---|
| sprites, tilemaps, text | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| blend modes | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ except `"none"` |
| shaders and post effects | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ inert |
| `Light2d` glow (`drawLight`) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ cached radial gradient |
| normal-map lighting, `Light3d` | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ inert |
| `Mesh` | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ CPU-projected, no depth |
| `Camera3d` / depth sorting | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ warns, renders wrong |
| `InstancedMesh` | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ one draw per instance |
| GPU tilemap rendering | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ per-tile CPU path |

The Canvas column is the problem: none of it throws. Each of those paths warns
once and then degrades or no-ops, so the game runs and looks wrong.

Two Canvas rows are worth spelling out because they are easy to misread as total
failures. A `Light2d` still *draws* — the Canvas renderer bakes a radial gradient
per light and blits it — what disappears is per-pixel normal-map shading, which
warns once (`Light2d normal-map lighting requires a GPU backend`), the first time
a normal-mapped sprite is drawn under a light, and then renders sprites unlit. A `Mesh` still draws too, sorted with the painter's
algorithm and no depth buffer, so convex models look right and anything
self-overlapping does not. `"none"` (replace, alpha included) is the one blend
mode Canvas cannot express — there is no `globalCompositeOperation` that
disables blending for the drawn area alone — so it resolves to `"normal"`, and
`setBlendMode` reports that back.

## Detecting what you have

```js
app.renderer.type;                    // "WebGPU" | "WebGL2" | "CANVAS"
app.renderer.supportsDepthBuffer;     // the practical "is this a GPU backend" test
app.renderer.shaderLanguage;          // "wgsl" | "glsl" | null (null on Canvas)
```

There are narrower flags for the features that do not travel together:
`supportsShaderTileLayers`, `supportsRetainedMesh` and `supportsInstancing` —
all three `false` on Canvas, `true` on both GPU backends. Prefer a capability
flag over comparing `type` against a string; `type` is an identity check for
code coupled to one backend's machinery.

For a scene that genuinely requires a GPU backend, fail loudly rather than
rendering something broken:

```js
await app.init();
if (!app.renderer.supportsDepthBuffer) {
    throw new Error("this game needs WebGL 2 or WebGPU");

**Decorative effects** — let them no-op. A missing vignette is fine.

**Load-bearing effects** — guard the carrier. If a shader draws your content

effect is disabled: a 1×1 white texture stretched to fill a quad renders as a
white box exactly where the effect should have been.

```js
if (effect.enabled) {
    // draw the carrier the shader consumes
}
```

**Dual-language shaders** — a `ShaderEffect` compiles the body matching
`renderer.shaderLanguage`. With no matching body — a GLSL-only effect on WebGPU,
any effect on Canvas — the constructor warns once, leaves `enabled === false`,
and every method becomes a no-op. Pass `{ glsl, wgsl }` rather than a bare
string, or gate on `renderer.shaderLanguage`.

For one-off testing you do not need to touch the settings at all: the URI
fragments `#webgpu`, `#webgl` (or `#webgl2`) and `#canvas` override the
`renderer` setting for that run, and behave exactly like passing the matching
constant — `#webgl` on a WebGL-1-only device rejects rather than falling back.

A GPU context can be lost at any time — tab backgrounding, driver reset, memory
pressure. melonJS handles restoration on both GPU backends: WebGL recompiles
every live `GLShader` and replays its uniform snapshot, WebGPU renegotiates a

`event.ONCONTEXT_RESTORED` (the paired loss event is `event.ONCONTEXT_LOST`).

```js
import { event } from "melonjs";
