The officially released source code for Command & Conquer: Red Alert, a classic real-time strategy game by Westwood Studios, published by Electronic Arts for preservation purposes. The release adds Steam Workshop support for the remastered Steam version, and the code requires significant restoration effort to rebuild with period tooling.

Use cases

  • study the source code of a classic RTS game
  • rebuild or port Command & Conquer Red Alert from source
  • create mods and Steam Workshop content for Red Alert
  • preserve and archive vintage game engine code
  • learn how 1990s real-time strategy engines were written

When to choose

  • you want to examine or learn from the original Red Alert engine source
  • you are building mods or Workshop content for the Steam release
  • you are working on game preservation or a source port

When to avoid

  • you want a ready-to-build modern codebase - it does not fully compile without restoration
  • you need a supported project - it is archived with no contributions or support accepted
  • you want to play the game without owning it - binaries require owning the game
