About

The goal of this project is to recreate an old RTS game Dark Reign: The Future of War by using HTML5 technologies.

How to run the game

  1. Download files from GitHub
  2. Download media files and extract them in src folder.
  3. Upload all files to your site or create virtual domain (it required due to CORS limitations)
  4. Open menu.html in Chrome or Firefox browsers. IE9/10 still not supported.
