Most underrated comment, and what a blast from the past.

Back then Quake 3 would require 3d accelerators and now we can play it in the browser... and some person on HN just casually "ported it". Awesome!

What's the technology there? Do you run it on WASM?

Thanks! Yes, it's ioquake3 compiled to wasm with Emscripten, and definitely still uses 3D accelerators via WebGL. Quake III is GPL of course and the code is here: https://github.com/jdarpinian/ioq3

In addition to WebRTC multiplayer and a bunch of random improvements I added web gamepad API support as well as touch controls. Yeah, touch controls, because half of everyone is browsing on their phone and I don't think you can really call it a proper web port if it doesn't work on phones. Touch controls for Quake III were a challenge but I think I have something that's fun to use. I'm interested to hear if it works for people.

I'm also experimenting with a port of Cave Story (the classic 2D indie platformer) with touch controls for mobile: https://thelongestyard.link/cave-story/
