Hello HN,

Cube 2: Sauerbraten is an open-source arena FPS with sophisticated map editing tools that had its peak popularity around 2010. There were some nascent efforts to port it to the web that I have taken over in the past couple of years, and it's finally ready to share with you!

Sour is a continuation of Sauerbraten that aims to modernize the game and bring it to a broader audience by making the full game experience available to web browsers on desktops and mobile devices. The eventual goal is to be a web-based and open-source alternative to Roblox et al, which allow players to create their own maps and game modes.

We're in need of contributors with experience in any of the following: C++, WebGL2, Emscripten, React, TypeScript, and Go. Check out our repo here: https://github.com/cfoust/sour And join us on Discord here: https://discord.gg/WP3EbYym4M
