This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
We'll be using a free version of Wing IDE to build our game. If you don't know what this means, don't worry - you don't need to know what it is in order to build your game. But if you want to know what it is, try Googling it! To download Wing IDE, follow these steps:
1. Go to http://www.wingware.com/downloads/wingide-101
2. Select the right program:
3. Once you download the file, click "Run".
4. Open Wing IDE. It should look something like this. If it doesn't look like that for you, play around until it does. Don't worry - you won't break anything.
5. You're ready to get programming!

I can't use this IDE on OSX Mountain Lion. Alternatives?
yes I had a 404 as well. But I suppose I'll find my way.
One remark, the Wing IDE is not free software, it's freeware that comes with a restricting EULA. I wonder why we don't use any of the free software IDEs available?
What about using the Ninja IDE? Ninja IDE is libre/open source (GPL v3), full featured, and actively developed.
Not all platforms are available yet. I look forward to trying it. I've chosen emacs instead.
I'll give it a try, thanks for the pointer.
