## What it is
Superpowers is an extensible, downloadable HTML5 application for real-time collaborative project development, best known as a free open-source 2D/3D game engine with a built-in TypeScript editor. It works offline like a regular game maker or lets collaborators join a project through their web browser, and is engine-agnostic, extendable with plugins for games, websites, and more.

## Use cases
- make 2d and 3d html5 games with typescript
- collaborate on a game project in real time through the browser
- build a game jam project with friends over a weekend
- create static websites with pug and stylus
- extend a collaborative ide with custom plugins
- make love2d games with lua in a visual editor
- publish a game to web, mobile and desktop from one workflow

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source game engine with a built-in editor and TypeScript scripting
- you need real-time collaboration on a game or project without heavy setup
- you want an extensible, engine-agnostic tool that supports plugins for games, websites, and apps
- you want bundled Creative Commons assets for sprites, models, sounds, and music

## When to avoid
- you need a actively maintained engine with recent updates and community support
- you require AAA-grade 3D features or a large ecosystem like Unity or Godot
- you prefer a purely code-based workflow without a GUI editor
- you need guaranteed long-term support, since the last release was in early 2021
