Well, you can always use old Notepad... It's not fancy, but it does the trick and comes with Windows. I've also heard a lot of good things about jEdit, which you can be found at http://www.jedit.org/

I would suggest using TorqueDev from http://www.torquedev.com/ I started using it last week. It's great so far.

You probably want something like TorqueDev but any text editor with external tool support will work. You might want that so you can execute T2D.exe and run your game from the editor.
I use Dev-Cpp myself, but I know that's probably very uncommon. ;D

No don't use Vim! There's way too much to learn there especially if you're new to this.You probably want something like TorqueDev but any text editor with external tool support will work. You might want that so you can execute T2D.exe and run your game from the editor.

If you're intent on learning VIM, pick up "Learning the vi Editor" from O'Reilly. It'll take you step-by-step through the monstrous editing beast that is VIM. www.oreilly.com/catalog/vi6/

Seriously... Nothing against VIM, but I get the impression you're fairly new to software in general, and I wouldn't really recommend VIM at this moment. You'll spend all of your time learning how to use VIM, rather than learning how to program.If you're intent on learning VIM, pick up "Learning the vi Editor" from O'Reilly.

In your Start Menu under Torque2D you should have listing for some tutorials. They'll guide you through the rest.

First you're going to have to explain what you mean by "system". We'll work from there.

Okay I meant I have a text editore and I need to know how to install it. this is murder. my computer told me to dowwnload some framework thing or whatever and I did that but I guess it was the rong one or somthing. and it takes fifteen hours to load. are there any other text editors besides turqeDEV for beginners?

Start -> Programs -> Accesories -> Notepad
What you can also do is go to the folder where Torque2D is installed (My Computer -> C:\ -> Torque2D -> SDK -> Example), double click on one of the .cs files, and choose "Open With", then choose Notepad.
Did that all make sense?

Well, as I mentioned in an earlier post, Notepad is enough to start out with. It doesn't get much easier to use than Notepad, and it comes free with Windows.Start -> Programs -> Accesories -> Notepad
