OpenFront.io is an open-source online real-time strategy (RTS) game focused on territorial control and alliance building, playable in any modern web browser. The repository contains the full TypeScript client and server code, forked from WarFront.io.

Use cases

• play a browser-based RTS game about territorial expansion
• self-host an io-style real-time strategy game server
• contribute to or fork an open-source multiplayer RTS
• study how a browser RTS client-server game is built in TypeScript
• run a strategy game with real-world geography maps

When to choose

• you want a free, open-source browser RTS you can play or self-host
• you want to modify or extend an io-game style real-time strategy
• you need a TypeScript example of multiplayer browser game architecture

When to avoid

• you need a polished, production-stable commercial game (it is labeled ALPHA)
• you want a native desktop or mobile RTS rather than a browser game
• you need a game engine or general-purpose framework rather than a complete game
