The project is split into parts:

The actual game data (lpc2012 repository)
The server (manaserv)
The client (mana)

The server and client are still in development and we took the lpc as a chance to a test how far they are usuable already. So we did a couple of fixes on both the server and client. These fixes are pushed to the official client repositories but we seperated them by pushing to a seperate branch (lpc2012) in both repositories.

Follow our README.md in the lpc2012 repository.

Repository paths: The revisions to be judged are tagged "lpc2012submission"
git://github.com/mana/lpc2012.git
git://github.com/mana/manaserv.git
git://github.com/mana/mana.git

FOR JUDGING:
Since this game is a multiplayer game it is not designed for playing in singleplayer.
We have a server at testing.manasource.org:9601 (serverttype: manaserv). That will keep running with the lpc submission data.

Of course we also provide info of how to setup a local server with the data.

For Problems:
Message us in #mana or #mana-lpc in the freenode network.
