Installing

Wesnoth can be played on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and can be installed using:

Additionally, Wesnoth is available for iOS and Android.

To build the game from source, see INSTALL for instructions.

Contributing

Wesnoth is most in need of skilled C++ developers (C++14 and later), however there are things that nearly anyone can help with:

  • Simple tasks in C++.
  • The Lua and WML used for content scripting.
  • Python used by various external tools.
  • Even play testing and giving feedback on updated campaigns!

Additionally, Wesnoth lacks art for a variety of unit animations - anyone who would be interested in lending a hand in updating existing unit sprites or creating animations should take a look at the Art Contributions forum as well as contact our current art director.
