VectorQuake

Quake III Arena as an all-in-one WebXDC game. Open it, play it - no setup required.

Based on quake3.xdc by WofWca, which uses ioquake3 compiled to WebAssembly via Emscripten.

Features

• Instant play - All game files are bundled. No downloads, no uploads, just open and frag.
• Multiplayer via WebXDC - Play with friends through any WebXDC-compatible messenger (Delta Chat, Vector, etc.)
• Classic maps - q3dm1, q3dm7, q3dm17, q3tourney2
• Bot support - Play against AI bots when no friends are online
• Mobile support - Touch controls with virtual joystick
• Gamepad support - Full controller bindings

Usage

1. Install Vector or Delta Chat (or another messenger that supports webxdc).
2. Download VectorQuake.xdc from the releases page.
3. Send the .xdc file in a chat.
4. Open it and play!
5. Your friend opens the same app from the chat to join multiplayer.

How It Works

The game engine (ioquake3) is compiled to WebAssembly. Multiplayer uses a fake WebRTC layer that routes packets through WebXDC's realtime channel for peer-to-peer play - no servers needed.
