Entering Early Access on Steam back in March, Athena Crisis clearly takes inspiration from the classic Advance Wars and now the code has been made open source.

This is incredible.

Athena Crisis is an example of how to build a high-quality video game using only JavaScript, React, and CSS. By open-sourcing Athena Crisis, we are following through on our commitment to open source our core technology and help push the Web forward as a game development platform.

I absolutely love browser-based gaming. But there’s not a lot of resources to learn how to build anything advanced beyond the casual games. After a while, every browser game migrates to a “real” game engine. Which makes sense. But doesn’t help push web games.

That’s what I mean. The exported code isn’t readable or something that can be modifiable by web developers.

In the perfect world, you’re not using a game engine to export web games. You’re building directly using web languages.
