In Response to Newton
Interesting, you know C and JAva but no C++. Thats a funny combination since C++ is a OOP-enabling superset of C (and Java is pretty much based on OOP).
The engine code is (IMO) pretty much what I call "C+": a lot of stuff in there is very old (the engine is huge after all) and in most places, "clean" OOP patterns that you might know from Java have not really been followed. The STL for example (standard C++ library which enables something like ArrayLists, LinkedLists, Queues, Maps, Sets etc.) is only used in some places of the engine, in most, (still) self-made implementations of vectors/lists are used. So perhaps you might even find your way through the engine quite quick (in contrast to me ;-) ).
