Ricochet was released as a free mod for 
Half-Life on on November 1, 2000, and was subsequently included in update 1.1.1.0 of Half-Life. It was developed as a side project by Robin Walker to demonstrate how quickly and easily a mod can be made with the Half-Life SDK[1]. When Valve ported its 
GoldSrc titles to Steam, Ricochet was changed to a paid product, with no major content update. Owners of retail copies of Half-Life that register their Half-Life CD key via Steam have been grandfathered in, receiving a Steam copy of Ricochet for free.
The source code for Ricochet can be found in the Half-Life SDK repository, in the 
ricochet subfolder. A fork of the HLSDK 2.4 version of Ricochet updated to properly compile with Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition can be found on GitHub. HLSDK 2.5 compiles with VS2019 natively.
