you need a c++ compiler (visual c++, dev...), and configure it to recognize irrlicht files. There is a tutorial of what you need to do http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tut001.html

I'm a noob too.

hmmm i cant find it i go into irrlicht-0.14.0 i click tools then what?

Now you need use Visual c++ to make your game. Open visual c++ and configure it like at the tutorial (include, library folders and irrlicht.dll). Go to file-> open worspace. Choose the Hello World example at the examples directory(open HelloWorld.dsw). After that, ctrl + f5 and execute your first program in Irrlicht.

If you're very new to programming, don't you think a "freewill" game like you describe is going to be a bit optimistic?

Check out the tutorials and see how you get on, you'll find that most people here won't be willing to help you when you seem to be at such a low level... ie can't even download the file

You downloaded Irrlicht and only got the font tool?
I think you downloaded the wrong package.
You need the Irrlicht sdk. Unzip it, and look at the examples. There is a lot of great information there. You don't even need a compiler to see them.
That should get you started.
