## What it is
Athena Crisis is a modern-retro turn-based tactical strategy game built with TypeScript, React, and CSS, released as open core: the engine, map/game state algorithms, and AI code are MIT-licensed while campaign content, art, and music are proprietary. The monorepo also serves as a learning resource with docs and playgrounds for studying game development in JavaScript.

## Use cases
- build a turn-based strategy game
- study game development with javascript and react
- create tools for athena crisis
- learn how a game engine renders maps in css
- explore game ai implementation
- run a tactical strategy game in the browser

## When to choose
- you want to build or prototype your own turn-based strategy game on a proven engine
- you want to study a real-world React/TypeScript game codebase with docs and playgrounds
- you want to extend Athena Crisis with mods or tools

## When to avoid
- you want a complete free game - campaign, art, and music are proprietary
- you need a general-purpose game engine for 3D or real-time games
- you want a non-web platform target like native consoles
