Planetary Annihilation is a cross platform client / server networked OpenGL application with a custom engine developed in 2013/2014 using C++11 and a fully moddable HTML5 user interface using Coherent UI based on Chromium.

Since 2018 the Planetary Annihilation engine had been modernised to C++17 with updated versions of third party libraries.
