## What it is
QuakeJS is a port of ioquake3 (Quake 3 Arena) to JavaScript/WebAssembly via Emscripten, playable in the browser. It includes a Node.js web server for serving the game and WebSocket-based dedicated server support.

## Use cases
- play quake 3 in the browser
- host a web-based quake 3 dedicated server
- port a native C game engine to the browser with emscripten
- run a multiplayer fps server without native clients
- self-host a browser game server

## When to choose
- you want to run Quake 3 entirely in a browser
- you need a WebSocket-based dedicated server for web clients
- you're studying how to compile native game engines to JavaScript/WASM

## When to avoid
- you need native and web clients to play together (networking is incompatible)
- you want modern graphics or mods not available on the content server
- you need a maintained upstream engine rather than a port
