I just saw this discussion... I ported Command and Conquer - Tiberian Dawn to HTML5, without access to the source code... It has a working multiplayer with websockets... ( It uses a central server like SC2 instead of a P2P model) I handle all the game data by using lazy loading.. I only load the images for the units/level as I need them... Most people have reported that it translates well to the web and has reasonable performance.... You can play the game here.... Play C&C HTML5... I considered porting SC1 to HTML5 as well... I think I could port a decent version within a couple of months with my existing HTML5 RTS engine, if I had access to game sprites and images.... Unfortunately, unlike C&C, there isn't easy access to the game/image data... If you know of any source, let me know and I would be glad to give it a shot.. I love SC... | ||

Sometimes the lobby colors are funny-lookin' but it's not too important and in-game is always fine! So, at least give it a try before deciding "it's too complicated." Same, i have to run a registry every time before i start up BW and runs fine in W7 without any problem, the only issue is if i alt tab out, the lobby colors goes crazy | ||

I searched for sprites, but it never occurred to me to search for extractors :D | ||

Yeah that made me laugh out loud just now. They can make their engine do whatever they want, its just like their excuse for global play "the technology isn't here yet". Though it was in 98, and before then... | ||

Afterall day9 is part of a team that is developing a browser RTS, so it should be fundamentally possible. very nice links! so much nostalgia! The left clicking instead of right clicking takes time geting used to. Could add a function to make the left and right clicking more like bw. Anyway I completed 2 NOD missions, and it seems similar enough to the original CnC, great job! http://www.adityaravishankar.com/projects/games/command-and-conquer/ I appreciate the effort for this bw game but it kinda sucked in comparison | ||

but has a cdn which at the very least works on a separate quota (or maybe unlimited, idk) https://cdn.rawgit.com/gloomyson/StarCraft/master/index.html eventually the guy should get around to publishing it properly https://github.com/gloomyson/StarCraft/issues/6 or you can clone it as your own repo :p | ||

How did you port it without any source if I may ask? | ||
