The Online Documentation is the first place you should start your iTorque 2D education. These official docs are updated constantly to include new content, revising old tutorials and provide free resources. An offline version of these docs, html format, are provided for you when you install the iTorque 2D SDK. However, you should use the online versions as much as possible as they will always be the most up to date version. If you wish to download the most recent documentation to your computer, you can CLICK HERE to download a zip.
