You can play ScorchDroid in a browser now, and browser players can play in the same games as phone players.

New

  • Play in a browser. It's the same game with the same menus, at roge-rm.gitlab.io/play/scorchdroid. Play solo against bots, or join a server. It needs a recent browser with WebGL 2, and the first load is about 45MB.
  • Browsers on the dedicated server. The server's web page has the game at /play/, so on your own network that's http://<server>:8080/play/. Browser players join the same games as phones. Rebuild the containers with docker compose up -d --build to get it, and see the server guide for the details.

Changed

  • The menus, HUD and game logic are now shared between the app and the browser version. Nothing should look or play any differently, but it's a big change under the hood, so let me know if something's off.
  • Canadian spelling in the in-game text (colour, centre, defence and so on).
  • The README has an Installing section that points at the F-Droid repo.

Installs over 1.1.x, same signing key.
