You'd need to compile it using a compiler.

This is assuming the code is written for your particular operating system and environment.

What is it?

Well, the source code you downloaded is just the engine. It's not the game itself.

The assets (creatures, levels, textures, weapons, etc) are all still copyrighted and not available for download.
