So, once again, this is a really dumb question.
I am outsourcing some C++ Programming work for a game.
When I say outsourcing, I mean India, so I will never
meet these programmers. I was just wondering how I would get
the coding off of them. Can I simply ctrl+c, ctrl+v it
into the game engine of my choice?
Again, I apologize for my naivety and such. This is my
first project.
Thanks for your help!

They should supply it pre-compiled as executable file that you should be able to run on your computer. If not, they might send the source files to you and expect you to compile it on your own. Both are quite common in my work environment.
