OpenArtillery

Free multiplayer artillery game that runs in any modern browser. Turn-based tank combat with destructible terrain, wind, and gravity. Free-for-all, duel, private invite lobbies, and practice against AI bots. Ranked play updates MMR and a public leaderboard.

Play at openartillery.net.

Why

Browser-native turn-based tank artillery, authoritative server — no cheating, no desync, no install.

Quick start

# 1. Bring up Postgres + Redis
npm run docker:up

# 2. Install + build shared types
npm install
npm run build:shared

# 3. Apply schema
DATABASE_URL=postgres://artillery:artillery@localhost:5432/artillery \
  npm run db:migrate -w @artillery/server

# 4. Run the stack (shared watcher, server on :2567, client on :5173)
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173. Register an account or play as a guest.

Copy .env.example → .env and set JWT_ACCESS_SECRET + JWT_REFRESH_SECRET (≥32 chars each). All env keys are zod-validated at boot.

Tests

npm test            # physics, ELO, projectile, terrain
npm run typecheck
npm run lint

Production

JWT_ACCESS_SECRET=... JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=... docker compose up -d --build

The server container fronts Colyseus; Postgres + Redis back it. Put a reverse proxy (Cloudflare Tunnel, nginx, Caddy) in front for TLS.
