Hey Hanaan,
You download the game by using SVN (and that's how you put stuff into the
game too).
Heres the link again on how to do that stuff:

If you hit any snags let me know and i can help you out. You just use the
username and password you gave me before in SVN (if you forgot your login or
anything let me know and i can look it up for you)
