Electronic Arts has released the Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert source code under the GPL 3.0 license.

It can now be pulled from github: https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection

Environment: Visual Studio 2015 or newer
Language: C++

I wonder if this is a chance to revive the old OpenCnC project.

Bolivar687 maybe you can add the link to the OT OP?

I've been browsing the source a bit. There is quite a bit of actual original source code from Westwood Studios! Fantastic stuff.

 

[Optimistic Gamer]

This has to be the best commented code I've ever seen.

I don't think doxygen existed back then LOL.

Done, excited to see what can come out of this.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

nice!

I noticed that one of the files has some inline assembly. Do any game devs here know if that's something that's something still commonly done today in modern games?

 

[GenericUser]

I searched for the word "fuck" in the code. Zero results. Well mannered ...

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Finally, some good fucking code.

(srsly, it's the opposite of spaghetti code)
