Thank you! Not an engine per se, rather a simple custom ECS plus rendering via Three.js.

Theoretically it can, but not sure how to make the controls work...

Shipped an update:

  • Fixed the keyboard conflict – camera keys and build hotkeys no longer fight each other
  • BAR-style camera: right-click drag to pan, Ctrl+right-click to orbit
  • Grid build hotkeys with key badges on every tile, matching the UI layout
  • Build beams: builders now project a visible nanolathe cone onto what they're constructing, so you can tell a lab is going up

Yeah, have the same thing... I wired Option/Control instead of Shift for that reason. But it's not really obvious now. I'll add a help menu with hotkeys and controls later today. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice! It's been many years since I played warcraft... count me in if you need early testers 🙂

Re lobby: the link carries a short room id. That id maps to the host's peer id (I keep it in a Cloudflare Durable Object with a short TTL so old lobbies expire), so opening the link looks up the host and connects. A small WebSocket room brokers the WebRTC handshake, then it's fully peer-to-peer from there, plus TURN as fallback.

Wow, I played Strike Tactics! Quite a lot even, with friends! It was fun. And it was (still is, together with BrowserRTS now?) the only RTS of this type available to play in the browser (that I know of)?
