About BZFlagCommunity/webbzw

Webbzw is a web-based editor and preview tool for BZW map files used in the BZFlag game. It allows players and mapmakers to create, edit, and visualize BZFlag maps directly in a web browser without needing to install desktop software. The application supports real-time preview of map changes, drag-and-drop file loading, and simultaneous editing of multiple maps in the same session.

The project is built with TypeScript and uses Deno as its runtime environment. It renders maps using WebGL for 3D visualization. Currently, syntax highlighting for BZW files is temporarily disabled but planned for future implementation. The scope of supported map features is tracked in the project's issue tracker, with the tool designed to gradually expand compatibility with more complex BZFlag map elements.

This is an open-source community project aimed at mapmakers and BZFlag enthusiasts who want a more accessible way to create and prototype maps online. Contributions are actively welcomed from the community.
