## What it is
OpenSpades is an open-source, cross-platform compatible client for the voxel first-person shooter Ace of Spades 0.75, written in C++ with OpenGL and OpenAL. It can connect to vanilla, pyspades, and pysnip servers and features fully destructible terrain with community game modes like Capture the Flag.

## Use cases
- play Ace of Spades 0.75 on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- connect to vanilla or pyspades/pysnip servers
- play a voxel FPS with destructible terrain
- play Capture the Flag and other community game modes
- run a lightweight multiplayer shooter on modest hardware
- install the game via Snap or Flatpak

## When to choose
- you want to play Ace of Spades 0.75 on a modern or non-Windows platform
- you need better graphics and audio via OpenGL/OpenAL than the original client

## When to avoid
- you want to host or modify game server logic (this is a client only)
- you need a modern engine with advanced rendering features
- you require a game under a permissive license (GPL-3.0 with content restrictions)
- you want active feature development rather than maintenance
