New page

The '''source code''' for [[Crawl]] is the complete set of programming instructions and data that are compiled into a playable game. Unlike most commercial programs, ''Crawl'' is released under an open source license, meaning the source code is freely accessible by anyone. Crawl is written in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B C++].

Crawl is actively in development, with new code changes being introduced daily. [[Trunk]] is the version of the code containing the latest changes. Periodically these changes are gathered up into a [[version|release version]] which has been tested to minimize bugs and other problems.

The Crawl source code can be accessed at [http://gitorious.org/crawl/ http://gitorious.org/crawl/]; a more accessible (and searchable) mirror of the source is at [http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=summary http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=summary]. The default view is of [[trunk]]; to view source code from prior release versions, visit [http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=tags http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=tags], click on "commit" next to the version you want, then "tree".

To search through the code, make sure you are viewing the entire tree (or at least the /source subdirectory), and select "grep" in the dropdown box. The search is case-sensitive: "kiku" will return different results from "KIKU".

Prospective developers should read [https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dcss:help:start the introductory pages on the Crawl dev wiki]. The [http://gitorious.org/crawl/crawl/blobs/master/crawl-ref/docs/develop/patch_guide.txt patch guide] is also a good introduction to getting your feet wet. Others may simply enjoy source diving to tease out many of the game's secrets.

==Source diving==
"Source diving" is the act of reading/searching through the source code of a program. Source diving is usually done when someone wants to know how something really works in the game. Source divers may also program their own [[patch]]es to the game.

Even those who do not understand C++ may be able to do source diving to discover Easter eggs or interesting comments in the source, or to look up basic data or text (such in-game [[flavour]] messages).
