This seems related and pretty cool. Implementing a playable example of a C&C: Tiberian Dawn mission with "HTML5".

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...

I guess everyone has their own anecdotal experiences... but thought I'd mentioned bw has always worked just fine for me in Windows 7 with no special effort. 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

Thank you... I searched for sprites, but it never occurred to me to search for extractors :D

what you want

you don't need the source code
you probably don't need blizzard authorization as long as you only provide the code to use legal bw files to launch the game (but you dont provide the assets yourself)


I am not a computer expert but I beg to differ. If you don't have the source code in which the game engine was built upon, you are not going to be able to replicate a lot of the bugs and tricks you can do in game. Without those bugs and tricks, it is not SC. I remember very clearly that Chris Sigaty tried so hard with his team to emulate muta stacking in SC2, they simply cannot do it because of a different game engine.

Everything is easier said than done, people should know that.


I didn't know they tried to emulate Muta Stacking in SC2 but failed .

That is a load of BS. Adding in muta stacking to SC2 is extremely easy. Unit pathing is more of a problem for the engine.


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...

There was a Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn port that ran quite well in a browser.
Edit: It was posted. Sorry.

Woah interesting, like xboi said it has a long way to go and it looks like a lot of random non SC stuff in it, but still that is amazing

Just a note to everyone, this won't be compatible with the real StarCraft(you won't be able to play a multiplayer match with someone on the real client). The AI/pathing will be practically impossible to recreate

wow wow interesting development after a few pages of negativity

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!

I appreciate the effort for this bw game but it kinda sucked in comparison

rawgit is bandwidth limited and gets closed when it goes over quota or something
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

There is a HUGE diffrence between creating one, and porting it without having any source code.
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

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

Yes I understand. I was referring to some of the posts stating that it's impoossible to create a browser based RTS, citing fundamental technical concerns.

nice bump, looks really cool but tbh I still don't see how we could have BW in a browser without access to the BW source code.
