This is a very important PR for HumansVsNations (But also for
singleplayer).
Humans will throw lots of nukes onto nations, but nations didn't do
that. Until now :)
## Refactor
- Moved all the nuking logic to the new file `NationNukeBehavior.ts`
- Moved `randTerritoryTileArray()` and `randTerritoryTile()` to the new
file `NationUtils.ts` because we need that method in multiple places now
- Because we already have an `NationUtils.ts` (It contains the method
`createNationsForGame` for HumansVsNations) I renamed the old one to
`NationCreation.ts` to avoid confusion
## Bug fixed
- `allRelationsSorted()` in `PlayerImpl` returned dead players all the
time... Which caused nations to not attack / send nukes in some cases...
## Nuke-sending features / improvements
- On hard and impossible difficulty, nations no longer make sure that
nukes will only hit inside of their targets border. This logic very
often stopped nations from throwing nukes. Now their nukes are allowed
to hit TerraNullius (=> ocean!). And in team games, it's even allowed
that their nukes hit other non-friendly players as well! This is very
important for HumansVsNations.
- The basic check for SAMs now gets skipped if we are on easy difficulty
(easy nations are not smart enough to do that)
- I improved the basic check for SAMs (medium difficulty) a bit (nations
send less nukes into SAMs)
- On hard and impossible difficulty, we now use the new method
`isTrajectoryInterceptableBySam()` to avoid SAMs completely. It's
mirroring `NukeTrajectoryPreviewLayer.ts` logic a bit.
- I added "perceived cost" to simulate nations saving up for a MIRV
(Otherwise most hard/impossible nations will spend all their gold on
nukes). But if we are in a team game (MIRVs are not relevant) or if we
already saved up for a MIRV, the "perceived cost" gets ignored.
- Updated the "most hated player" selection in `findBestNukeTarget()` to
ignore very weak players. We don't need to throw nukes at players which
we can easily steamroll by land.
- Added `findFFACrownTarget()` to nuke the crown (based on difficulty).
- Added `findStrongestTeamTarget()` to nuke the strongest team.
- Updated `randTerritoryTile()` so that it has a higher chance of
returning the tiles of a
"leftover-nuked-to-death-player-with-some-tiles-left": `if
(p.numTilesOwned() <= 100) {return
random.randElement(Array.from(p.tiles()));}`.
- Changed `const range = nukeType === UnitType.HydrogenBomb ? 60 : 15`
to `config().nukeMagnitudes(nukeType).inner`. Should make more sense.
- Adjusted `nukeTileScore()` to search for units in
`this.mg.config().nukeMagnitudes(nukeType).inner` instead of fixed 25
- Adjusted `nukeTileScore()` to account for unit levels (levels got
ignored previously). Also increased score for ports from 10_000 to
15_000.
- I made sure that nations can nuke EVERY SINGLE TILE from an enemy,
even if the enemy has no structures ("Prefer tiles that are closer to a
silo" can no longer make the `nukeTileScore()` drop too much,
`bestValue` in `maybeSendNuke()` starts at -1 now)
- In the entire nuking logic, factories were missing. Now they are
added.
## Media
Nation team vs. nation team: They are nuking the very last pixels of
red, just like humans would do it 😀

Hard difficulty FFA game: Nations throwing much more nukes. And they are
nuking the crown.

🌟 Features
- Real-time Strategy Gameplay: Expand your territory and engage in strategic battles
- Alliance System: Form alliances with other players for mutual defense
- Multiple Maps: Play across various geographical regions including Europe, Asia, Africa, and more
- Resource Management: Balance your expansion with defensive capabilities
- Cross-platform: Play in any modern web browser
📋 Prerequisites
- npm (v10.9.2 or higher)
- A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.)
🚀 Installation
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO.git cd OpenFrontIO -
Install dependencies
npm run instDo NOT use
npm installnornpm ibut instead use ournpm run inst. It runs the safernpm ci --ignore-scriptsto install dependencies exactly according to the versions inpackage-lock.jsonand doesn't run scripts. This can prevent being hit by a supply chain attack.
🎮 Running the Game
Development Mode
Run both the client and server in development mode with live reloading:
npm run dev
This will:
- Start the webpack dev server for the client
- Launch the game server with development settings
- Open the game in your default browser (to disable this behavior, set
SKIP_BROWSER_OPEN=truein your environment)
Client Only
To run just the client with hot reloading:
npm run start:client
Server Only
To run just the server with development settings:
npm run start:server-dev
Connecting to staging or production backends
Sometimes it's useful to connect to production servers when replaying a game, testing user profiles, purchases, or login flow.
To replay a production game, make sure you're on the same commit that the game you want to replay was executed on, you can find the
gitCommitvalue viahttps://api.openfront.io/game/[gameId]. Unfinished games cannot be replayed on localhost.
To connect to staging api servers:
npm run dev:staging
To connect to production api servers:
npm run dev:prod

Project Governance
- The project maintainer (evan) has final authority on all code changes and design decisions
- All pull requests require maintainer approval before merging
- The maintainer reserves the right to reject contributions that don't align with the project's vision or quality standards
Contribution Path for New Contributors
To ensure code quality and project stability, we use a progressive contribution system:
-
New Contributors: Limited to UI improvements and small bug fixes only
- This helps you become familiar with the codebase
- UI changes are easier to review and less likely to break core functionality
- Small, focused PRs have a higher chance of being accepted
-
Established Contributors: After several successful PRs and demonstrating understanding of the codebase, you may work on more complex features
-
Core Contributors: Only those with extensive experience with the project may modify critical game systems
How to Contribute Successfully
-
Before Starting Work:
- Open an issue describing what you want to contribute
- Wait for maintainer feedback before investing significant time
- Small improvements can proceed directly to PR stage
-
Code Quality Requirements:
- All code must be well-commented and follow existing style patterns
- New features should not break existing functionality
- Code should be thoroughly tested before submission
- All code changes in src/core MUST be tested.
-
Pull Request Process:
- Keep PRs focused on a single feature or bug fix
- Include screenshots for UI changes
- Describe what testing you've performed
- Be responsive to feedback and requested changes
-
Testing Requirements:
- Verify your changes work as expected
- Test on multiple systems/browsers if applicable
- Document your testing process in the PR
Communication
- Be respectful and constructive in all project interactions
- Questions are welcome, but please search existing issues first
- For major changes, discuss in an issue before starting work
Final Notes
Remember that maintaining this project requires significant effort. The maintainer appreciates your contributions but must prioritize long-term project health and stability. Not all contributions will be accepted, and that's okay.
Thank you for helping make OpenFront better!
