Descent 3 Source Code
Freespace is open source.
I am not familure with the.. um.. I guess you could call it the landscape of the freespace community but this was a top search result.
https://www.hard-light.net/
and here is a github project that looks correct.
https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com
And now, for free, an opinion. I enjoyed decent, but did not like freespace, I am sure there is fun subtlety to the game, but I bounces off it hard, combat in open space ended up being just these really boring circle battles. Much funner combat when you have tight claustrophobic corridors to deal with.

FS2 on Mac
You have to compile FSO on MacOS yourself right now since automated builds haven’t been a thing for a while. There’s work being done on this (PR #4168), but it’s not ready yet. The pieces are mostly in place otherwise. Extracting the required files might be a challenge since the currently supported version of the Knossos doesn’t support the current GoG package format (there’s a ground up rewrite going on which should fix that, but it’s in an Alpha state right now) and Mac Steam likely doesn’t let you install Windows games, but if you can overcome that hurdle then it should work. Performance isn’t great though because Apple have neglected OpenGL on MacOS for nearly 20 years.

Show HN: Play Heroes of Might and Magic II demo from 1996 in the browser
Emscripten port https://github.com/midzer/fheroes2 took me over 24 hours due removal of multi-threaded code - and rather slow compile laptop. Currently Browser Audio API can't run in a worker at all. PThreads are stable in Emscripten but can make issues for example if main thread is blocked via mutexes.
Based on Original port https://github.com/ihhub/fheroes2 THX!
