Hey guys! Here's the thing- I've got a copy of C3's source code. I've discovered where the max meta room limit, max room limit, and number of CAs are, and have increased each. However, there are things I am uncertain about. for example, how do you turn source code into an actual engine? Also, are there any legal ramifications I should know about? I could use some help with this, as well as some advice. |

If I recall correctly, it's either written in C or C++. Both of those languages need to be compiled. That means, a program must translate it for you into a file that the computer can actually run. If you are on windows, you will need some sort of development suite. There are many options to choose from, and even more opinions on which ones you should or shouldn't use and why, but for a start you could try something like Microsoft Visual Studio. It is a pretty big download and install, but as a first party Microsoft tool, it tends to work well enough on windows. On linux, you should still look for a development environment, or "IDE", in the long run, but for some first tries you could simply check if you can find a makefile somewhere. If that is the case, you might be just lucky enough that plain old make works. It could be as simple as opening your terminal in the makefile's location, and use the "make" command. Lets play plants!

Still Confused. I have windows 11, and I already have Microsoft visual studio. But I don't know how to compile all those files into a single exe file. I have little or no programming experience outside of CAOS coding. |

To be honest, it's a little hard to explain, but there should be some sort of file that ties it all together, either near the main directory of the source code or like one folder in. That should give you the option to compile it all together as well. Tutorials on Visual Studio will probably help too. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |
