## What it is
BananaBread is a port of the Cube 2/Sauerbraten C++ 3D game engine and first-person shooter to the web, compiled to JavaScript/WebAssembly and WebGL via Emscripten. It runs entirely in the browser using standard web APIs, with an in-game editor, bot AI, and various visual effects.

## Use cases
- run a 3d first person shooter in the browser
- port a c++ game engine to webassembly
- embed a webgl fps demo in a website
- experiment with emscripten c++ to javascript compilation
- mod a browser-based 3d game with custom maps

## When to choose
- you want a complete browser-based FPS using only standard web APIs
- you need a reference for compiling C++/OpenGL games to WebAssembly with Emscripten
- you want to mod a lightweight 3D engine with in-game editing

## When to avoid
- you need active maintenance or multiplayer support - the project is abandoned and its fork cfoust/sour is the continuation
- you need a modern production game engine with tooling and community support
- you target platforms other than the browser

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: web-development, graphics
- platform: browser, wasm, cpp
