yeah you need a compiler, you'll be doing a lot of coding, you'll need to compile your code, but you won't need to compile the engine, unless you're doing changes to it.

it won't take you 6 hours. with a 56k modem you can download it in ca 40 min

if your just wanting to build a game, and not get into coding it, or just want to do very little coding, I would suggest downloading a game builder like 3dRad, DarkBasic, blitz, or other simple types. If you have Half Life, Quake3, or one of the UT type of games, you dont have to code at all, you can just MOD a game idea using what is already available, or the free level builders that you get with buying the game, or freely available on the internet.

...But that's not as fun

Matt, glad that you now have DSL

Anyway, here are some tutorials.

Btw, you might want to use some punctuation (like, putting a comma in somewhere, or a dot at the end of sentences) and use the shift key from time to time. That makes it much easier for others reading your text, especailly if they are non-native English speakers.

Best wishes,

PS: "aHa, i sTarTed. Downaloding, it! Then My MODem For. my, Dsl came ..." would not be an improvement, so watch the placements of the dots, commas and upper case letters
