Is the code available? If not would be nice if you could play using web interface. Or would be nice either way.

No. I guess I could release it for the client code, but it would quickly be obsolete and pointless. I plan to keep improving it for at least a few years. The other thing is that I want to avoid bot farming becoming a problem. Quickly changing server-client interactions would part of that solution.

Not sure what you mean by "web interface". Do you mean make it playable from a browser? The game uses FreeGlut which is derived from OpenGL and supposedly compatible with WebGL. The code is written in C and could be easily translated as long as it is a compiled language. Not familiar enough with browsers to know how to do it. I can only do HTML, some CSS, and very limited Javascript (which I don't think is ever compiled).

Yes. If the code is available and people can compile themselves, they might be a little more willing to try it out. Or maybe even people would want to help contribute code.

Web interface/playable from browser because that way people don't have to download a closed source binary and run it on their computer to try it out.
