## What it is
Q1K3 is a tiny Quake-inspired first-person shooter built in under 13KB of JavaScript for the 2021 js13k competition. It features two levels, five enemy types, three weapons, dynamic lighting, and spatial audio, all rendered in the browser.

## Use cases
- play a small retro FPS in the browser
- study how to fit a 3D shooter into 13KB
- learn js13k size-coding techniques
- see how WebGL raycasting-style FPS rendering works
- explore a compact map compiler and enemy AI implementation

## When to choose
- you want a playable browser FPS demo with no install
- you're learning extreme size-constrained game development
- you want a reference for lightweight WebGL game code

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured or extensible game engine
- you want a long, content-rich game
- you need mobile or native platform support
