Obtaining the Source
Our GIT repository can be cloned from git://github.com/spring/spring.git.
Another option is to manually download it along with the latest released version of the game. However, for serious developers, a better way would be to download the source straight from the GIT repository. This will also allow you to make a patch out of the changes you make to the code, and send it to one of the developers with repository access.
Assuming the GIT-commandline client is installed, you can clone the repository with
git clone git://github.com/spring/spring.git
and update it with
git pull
Compiling
