## What it is
The /tg/station codebase for Space Station 13, a round-based multiplayer roleplaying game set on a space station, written in BYOND's DM language. It is a full game server and client content package that can be self-hosted and modified.

## Use cases
- host a space station 13 roleplaying server
- run a round-based multiplayer space game
- fork an ss13 codebase to build my own station game
- learn dm/byond game programming from a large codebase
- play a paranoia-laden crew roleplaying game with friends
- contribute to an open-source multiplayer game

## When to choose
- you want a mature, feature-rich SS13 codebase with an active community
- you want to self-host or fork a multiplayer roleplaying game
- you want to learn DM/BYOND development on a large real project

## When to avoid
- you need a modern engine or mainstream language rather than BYOND/DM
- you want a small or simple codebase to modify
- you need a game outside the SS13 round-based roleplay genre

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, gui
- domain: gaming-tools, simulation
- platform: windows, cross-platform, self-hosted
- tags: ss13, byond, dm-language, roleplaying-game, multiplayer-game, space-station-13, game-server, game-development
