<div class="IPBDescription">About the hl source code</div>How did you go about getting the source code? I'm just curious. I know a bit about programming, and am curious to see how a game works. Like, what language is it programmed in, for example?

    HL is coded in C++ and the source is all in the SDK.

    modding Hl, which is written in C++, with VB... and achieving what Flay has done even when using different code...


    NO WAY!
