Soldat, made by @soldatmm back in 2002, now runs in the browser, on the real public servers.
Also deployed soldat.live so you can watch live matches without installing anything.

Browsers can't send UDP, so a small Node.js relay passes packets between the page and the game server.
Soldat TV joins each server once as a spectator and streams that one connection to every viewer, so 500 viewers still take up one slot on the server.
Built this with Claude Opus 5.5. It did most of the grunt work for the reverse engineering and the website, and I made the calls.
Thanks to @soldatmm for the game, and to the community that's kept it alive for 24+ years.

Surprised to see @stephenbuttolph at Tech Roast Show. Seems like the term "consensus protocol" remains unfamiliar even to some tech enthusiasts. Also, great pfp.
