Just download the zip in the post right above yours. It should have all the stuff you need, if I remember right.

Note that the links in here are the Java version. The XNA version is the newer, shiner version. They are not cross compatible.

For this one, you'll also need the Java Runtime environment. You might already have it.

For the XNA one, read through the first post in its thread. There are 2 download links you'd need; my files, and the XNA runtime.
