You type it into .CPP files and then compile those with a C++ compiler such as:
GNU GCC - My favorite.
MinGW - Based on GCC
MS's compiler - bleh.

Good luck.

OK, ordinarily I would ignore or berate this kind of question but I am feeling rather charitable today cause last night I got...ah nevermind that, anyway:

In the "examples" folder you'll find all of the source files (*.cpp and *.h) that is needed to compile the examples.
Irrlicht does not come with a compiler. You need to get that on your own.

I'm guessing that you don't really know what a compiler is.
A compiler takes the human readable code that you type into a *.cpp file and "compiles" it into machine readable code ( lots of ones and zeros )
That is what makes up your application.
As in the other post, check out the tools list, find yourself a compiler (for a begginer, I'd suggest "Dev-C++". Its free, and there are already project files set up for it in the examples folder ("examplename.dev")
