Please note: after v1.2.0.2 release AssaultCube was migrated from SourceForge to GitHub, so SVN won't work.
Instead of SVN please use Git.

GUI - TortoiseSVN

First thing you have to do is a checkout. Create an empty directory (best: a directory you have full access to). Right click and do a checkout like in the picture shown:

Now you have to tell TortoiseSVN where to get the sources of AssaultCube. The correct URL is:

    svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/actiongame/code/trunk/ac/

The form looks like this:

A window shows you the current progress of the checkout. If you can see this then you´re done:

Congratulations! You now can play the latest version of AssaultCube. But well, as there are many contributions to the source every day you won´t have the newest version for a long time. To ensure you play the latest version you have to update it manually before starting the game. To do this again a right click (ensure that you are in the directory you did the checkout before) and this time a SVN update:

Playing

To start playing execute "assaultcube.bat" (don´t use "assaultcube_release.bat"; otherwise you will mess your AC 1.0.x installation). Have fun testing it!
