-Unfortunately using full Go apps using gomobile doesn't work since gomobile does not seem to create a GL view with a stencil buffer, and the canvas package makes heavy use of the stencil buffer. Therefore the ```gomobile bind``` command has to be used together with platform specific projects.
+Using gomobile to build a full Go app using ```gomobile build``` now works by using an offscreen texture to render to and then rendering that to the screen. See the example in examples/gomobile. The offscreen texture is necessary since gomobile automatically creates a GL context without a stencil buffer, which this library requires.
