The HackWars MMORPG began in 2005, as a university project of Benjamin Coe, Cameron McGuinness, Christian Battista, and Alexander Morrison.
The unique game, which combines a real programming language, with MMO game mechanics has a great success: thousands of players enjoyed playing it throughout the years, and an amazing open-source community grew up around it.
Alas, it is now virtually impossible to run a Java Applet in modern web-browsers which brings us to a new stage in HackWars' history -- let's rebuild an open-source version in JavaScript.
This repo contains the crufty code for the original HackWars' Java Applet, warts intact.
