Variants of ASC
ASC 2.6
ASC 2.6 (on Git master
branch) is the traditional game engine, for which the campaigns have been designed. This is the best single-player experience available, and the version that is published on SourceForge.
ASC 2.8
ASC 2.8 (on Git newattack
branch) has a couple of changes to the game mechanics that were made for Project Battle Planets. These changes broke the campaigns and nobody bothered to fix them so far. For that reason, this version is recommended for participants of Project Battle Planets only.

Building ASC
Linux
Straight forward:
./configure
make
sudo make install
configure
will check for required libraries, which you may need to install. The scripts scripts/getUbuntuPackages
and scripts/getFedoraPackages
will install the required libraries with a single command, but may not be up to date.
Windows
Total pain in the a**
