Battlezone Online: BZFlag in the Browser

Classic tank game BZFlag now runs in your browser, no install needed

Battlezone Online (bzo) is a free 3D multiplayer tank game that runs in the browser on desktop, phone, or VR headset and connects with existing BZFlag clients and servers. The client uses Three.js over WebSockets, WebTransport, and WebRTC, while the server runs on Node.js. It carries every BZFlag flag, offers native WebXR support, and is playable now at bz.rikers.org. The code is AGPLv3, though asset licensing remains a work in progress.

A file does not inherit the repository's licence by sitting in it, and an asset whose origin nobody recorded is a question left for whoever asks next.
