The game is not loading. I tried the preview from workspace and I tried downloading the files and using sublime

Using sublime: Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'texImage2D' on 'WebGLRenderingContext': The cross-origin image at file:///Users/James/Desktop/introducing_javascript/01_welcome/chalkers.png may not be loaded.

Using workspace: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'texImage2D' on 'WebGLRenderingContext': The cross-origin image at https://port-80-4u2barplpc.treehouse-app.com/chalkers.png may not be loaded.

The screen loads but the game elements do not appear

If you're running this on your local machine, you may run into Cross-Origin-Restriction policy.

Unless your using Treehouse Workspace, you may need to run a local web server to load your applications, and its assets (.png) files. My recommendation is using MAMP.
