## What it is
The released source code for Command & Conquer: Renegade, a 2002 first-person shooter set in the C&C universe, published by Electronic Arts. It supports rebuilding the game, its Free Dedicated Server, and the Level Edit tool, and enables Steam Workshop modding for the Steam release.

## Use cases
- rebuild command and conquer renegade from source
- host a dedicated server for renegade multiplayer
- create mods for renegade with steam workshop
- study the source code of a classic westwood studios game
- build the renegade level editor
- port renegade to modern compilers or platforms

## When to choose
- you own the game and want to compile or mod it yourself
- you want to run a community dedicated server
- you are researching classic game engine source code

## When to avoid
- you want a playable game without owning a retail or Steam copy
- you need a cross-platform or modern out-of-the-box build
- you expect all dependencies to be included - several proprietary SDKs must be sourced separately
