Srystal Space for Dummies!

[iAlta]

I would like to have a tutorial, and I apologize if it already is one, that is for compleate newbies, like myself, that will include a list of all the tools, and the likes of that, needed, and where to get them. And how to start making a very, very, very simple game, or maybe not even a game, just a room, or whatever.

First of all, it should be Crystal Space for Dummies!, not Srystal Space for Dummies!

Secindly, I have downloaded the engine, and have no idea how to use it. For instanse, should I use the source or the excutable? If I have to use the source, what compiler would you recomend?

Anyway thanks for the reply, and I hope this was what you ment with it. (<- Not sure if that is the best wording, you get it, right?)

It is best to use the source unless you are only interested in using CS in combination with python.

The best compilers for CS are Visual Studio C++ or MingW (www.mingw.org).

Instructions on compilation are in the manual.

Thanks!

MinGW, has ALOT of files in the "file list", I'll just download all .exe files... except the "pervious" of course.

No hold on! You only need:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MinGW-5.0.3.exe

and

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe

None of the others!

Hehe. Thanks!
