This code is a fork of the CUBE engine. Mostly OGL code has been revamped to remove dependencies to GLU and dependencies to OGL1.x only features. So, the code is basically using only gles 2 features making it compatible with webgl.
You need to dowload the data from sourceforge. They are here:
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/cube/] (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cube/)
The code has been compiled with gcc on Linux and visual 2010/2012 on Windows. On Linux:
> cd src
> make
On Windows, open the solution and compile
The code can also be compiled to javascript using emscripten. You need to have the data in the same directory such emscripten can pre-package the complete game. This is required to enable synchronous load of assets.
Just type:
> ./emscripten.sh cube
This will produce two files: cube.html that basically contains the code and
the html glue and cube.data which contains the prepackaged data.
The compilation takes a lot of time. Do not worry. The compilation profile uses asm.js but it does not make a big difference with the latest Firefox nightly build.
Once compiled, just open cube.html with Firefox
Chrome is more a problem. Performance are really low. I did not have time to investigate why. For Chrome, you need to run a http server.
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888
and then, on chrome, open:
localhost:8888/cube.html

glReadPixels does not support depth target. Unfortunately, this is used to get the hit points for the main character weapon. So, no collision when you shoot yet :-(

There is a crash when dealing with volume control I was not able to track down. So, the sound is not spatialized properly

No network! Firefox (and partly Chrome) now supports webRTC and data channel. I did not have the time to look at it. Emscripten guys wrap sockets around it to have out of the box support of posix sockets. It may be interesting to try it (even if this may not be really high performance compared to a native use of webRTC, since most of the work (MTU handing, congestion control...) is done twice
