If you want to modify the game data, paksets, then you just need the make object tool. This turns text files and images into pakset files that the game loads. No programming knowledge required!

If you want to modify the game engine itself, you will need extensive C/C++ knowledge. Download the source code from the svn and then build it. If on Linux you might need to download a few packages for GCC. If on Windows it may be more tricky and either require a Windows GCC port or using Microsoft Visual Studios C++ (community edition available free). Some of the dependencies might need to be built separately from their source codes.
