Bugs

NB! Forgot to set view port to canvas_items, which yields funky results on Mac devices. Only had a windows machine while developing so did not notice until too late.

For now the resolution is set to 1152x648 which is fine on my monitor. Using 576 x 324, seems to do the trick for MacBook Pro. Please comment if you have any idea which setting I should use.
