Test Energy Skate Park: Basics 1.0.0-dev.76

[samreid]

I published energy skate park basics for dev testing here:
http://www.colorado.edu/physics/phet/dev/html/energy-skate-park-basics/1.0.0-dev.76/energy-skate-park-basics_en.html

This version uses WebGL for the first time on any of our sims, so should be tested thoroughly for rendering issues. You can tell if the sim is running in WebGL mode by looking at the pie chart: if there is a black line between slices, it is SVG. If there is no black line between slices, it is WebGL. For each of the platforms, comment on whether it is WebGL or SVG, and please try to test on many WebGL platforms but on at least one non-WebGL platform.

Please test on the following platforms:

Please test it on the following platforms at a minimum:

• Windows + Chrome
• Windows + IE
• OS X + Safari
• iPad iOS + Safari

For the issues marked as "ready for review", please read through the issue and test whether it is resolved. Please comment on the issue and check the box below when you have done so:

• Sometimes the skater is facing the wrong direction on the ground energy-skate-park-basics#181
• Inconsistent behavior with stick to track disabled.  energy-skate-park-basics#194
• Track available bounds was null after reset all. energy-skate-park-basics#201
• The sim really stutters when the mouse changes from hand to arrow and back energy-skate-park-basics#208
• With "no-stick-to-track" enabled and overlapping tracks the skater follows the vertex energy-skate-park-basics#238
• Skater teleports after cutting specific track energy-skate-park-basics#239

Please test on IE11 and let me know if you see it slowing down after a few minutes as described here:

• IE11 gets very slow after about 2 minutes energy-skate-park-basics#277

Please comment on IE performance when turning on the speedometer:

• Speedometer needle renders very slowly on my old HP laptop running IE11 energy-skate-park-basics#280

Does the sim speed up and slow down irregularly on Chrome?

• The sim speeds up and slows down on at least one Win7/Chrome energy-skate-park-basics#273

Do you ever see any skater flickering?

• Skater flickers (disappears and reappears 20-30ms later) on moveToFront() energy-skate-park-basics#267

Did you see the skater attach to the wrong side after a shallow jump?

• Skater attaches to wrong side of track after shallow jump energy-skate-park-basics#297

Please comment on your findings in the linked issues themselves, and let me know when testing is complete.

Also, for any other issues you discover, please check to see whether there is already an issue for it before reporting. Screenshots and screen recordings have been very helpful to communicate issues for this sim where appropriate.

Assigning to @ariel-phet to prioritize and reassign.

@bryo5363, @phet-steele, @orejolaphet please make this your top testing priority once Faraday's law is finished up.

To clarify, Testing 1.0.0-dev.78 the latest update, or testing with 1.0.0-dev.76?

[samreid]

I recommend to continue with dev.76.

@arnabp please also hop in on this testing if your time allows

[bryo5363]

Just reopened issue #141. Noticed the behavior on iPad
