Hey, I downloaded crystal space and tried the tutorial but it didnt work. i added all of the files into the directory for the project too. i have Microsoft Visual C++. once i download Crystal Space, where exactly am i supposed to put all the files for the engine and such?

It means, uh, "please read the manual".

Crystalspace comes with fairly comprehensive instructions about how to set it up and where to get the extra libraries from.
