First, I'd suggest opening main.cs in the example folder and change the default game to:

$defaultGame = "starter.fps";

Then you can launch the stronghold mission and get some ideas.. F11 ingame starts the editor.. THEN

If you want to start an empty blank mission, exit back to the start mission menu and hit F11 and it will begin a blank mission

Good luck!

the main.cs is a simple text file you can open in any text editor.

The license is for the complete C++ source code and the ability to sell the games you make.

I like recommending Torsion.

I changed the main.cs file but i don't know how to open the 'stronhold mission'. So all I need to do is start building my game with what I downloaded and follow the tutorials to get things started. Cool!!

Torque is not a program to make a game, it is the source code of a game engine. If you apply the said changes to main.cs and what you run says "FPS Starter Kit" on the title screen, you then click on "Start Mission" and then "Launch Mission" to load up the default map. This will put you in control of the orc character and you can run around and shoot and such. It has nothing to do with making a game, but this is one of the starting points you can modify towards making a game.

I'd point out good beginner tutorials, but don't have any on hand, I'm sure someone else can point those out.
