Hey something like this might help you, I've adapted it slightly to answer your question more specifically.

 $h3h3=Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(5);  // YOU NEED TO CHANGE 5 TO THE ID OF YOUR CATEGORY


$h3h3=$h3h3->getProductCollection();


foreach($h3h3->getAllIds() as $lol)
{
    $_product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($lol);

    print $_product->getName()."
";

}
