NUU is to be an open-source (massive) multiplayer game of space trade and combat:demo. That means it's free :P

It'snot finished yet, not secure, okay for LAN and probably will stay that way for a long time ;)Stillsomewhat playable and I do my best to not break master :D100% pure JavaScript in its current incarnation, runs a NodeJS backend and targets Chrom(e|ium) as the frontend.

It's excellent open-source cousinnaev currently lends NUU it'sassets. It's a very nice singleplayer game packed with ages of fun and it is still being extended and improved. Likenaev, NUU is heavily inspired byAmbrosia Software'sEscape Velocity. Still worth it's money. And just so it happens - naev uses assets which in turn are partly attributable to theVega Strike project. So everyone's related :> Astrong pointer toSpacewar! should also be cast, explaining the continuous efforts to enable gravity in a playable way :) (at least we have funky orbits now :>)

A tip of the hat should also be extended toEndless Sky another excellent EV-esque open-source project.

Despite numerous warnings and attempts to prevent it -dating back into the early 21st -Earth has been overrun by the drones it's own creation.But you know... we had used it all up and left a stinking pile garbage there -which covered most of the surface. So we weren't going to use it that much anymore...

But nowHer Majesty the Kernel has conqueredLuna and is scheming to take the last humanstrongholds:Mars and the colonies of theJupiter-system!!!For the past few months we've been struggling to keep the human race afloat and breathing...

TLDR: This game is mostly an engine, any derivate engine must be GPLv3 or higher. Simple as pie.
