hi @lmccart

what specific browser features would you like to handle? i suggest to check browser support for specific features (like touch). user agent strings are not reliable and they are difficult to maintain. we can find some inspiration from the feature detection scripts used by Modernizr : https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/tree/master/feature-detects

@taseenb I think @lmccart had this in mind:

For the p5.js core API, anything that is handled separately in different browsers should be automatically detected and handled appropriately, without needing any further prompting from the user, and failing gracefully where it has to.

We also had in a mind an error reporting protocol that warned the user if they were using an API call that was not handled in their current browser.

There will need to be a full sweep of the core API at some point through all the major browsers to check for these issues and come up with a compatibility table.

i see! that means we should probably solve this open issue, first: https://github.com/lmccart/p5.js/issues/83
