Stuff You Need

Get the BUILDER.

v2.0: The heart and soul of the whole experience. This is what you use to define what you want with no more knowledge than it takes to set up your system anyway.
 

Get the COMPILER. (It's just LCC)

LCC is the meat and potatoes that compiles your fab mod, and makes it playable. If you know your way around a different compiler (MSVC for example) then feel free to use that. If you don't know a compiler from a jack-in-the-box, then just get this AFTER you get the Builder, and follow the Builders instructions on installation and running. It's really pretty easy... even a monkey could ask someone to do it.
