xpilot.io

Browser multiplayer space combat in the spirit of the original XPilot. Server-authoritative Rust sim, WASM client, WebRTC DataChannel transport. Loads classic XPilot .xp maps from maps/.

Run

cargo run -p server --release             # listens on :8080
cd client && trunk serve                  # http://localhost:3000

The server picks maps/tournament.xp by default. Override:

XPILOT_MAP=globe cargo run -p server

Looking for the Elm version?

The original Elm prototype (mpdairy, 2016ish) lives in old/ and is preserved as a static reference. The master branch is now the v2 Rust + WASM rewrite — see CLAUDE.md for the architecture and roadmap, and xpilot_maps.md for the .xp map format.
