Brand new to this, sorry for the dumb question

Hi All


I am brand new to 'game programming'
I have been working with photoshop and cinema 4d for years, but I am lost with code.

Anyhow, my question:

I am following the platforming tutorial and I got up to the point where they want me to CREATE a .cs file and EDIT a .cs file


How do I create a new .cs file and how do I edit one?

I am on windows Vista and the files have a blank icon, as if I don't have software to open them (.cs that is)

Thanks in advance!

.cs files are text files can be created and edited with a text editor. There are some free editors with special torque support (auto completion for function names for examples) but AFAIK the best (and commercial) editor for Torque engines at the moment is Torsion.

I second the motion, Torsion is very very nice.

However, for the tutorials etc any kind of editor like Jedit ( http://jedit.org (its free)) will probably get you through just fine. It just doesn't have the torque support that you'll want when you start writing your own code from scratch.
