We aren't talking down to you. We just don't want you to throw $100 away because you won't get anything out of Torque until you learn some stuff.

At the very core, torque is not graphical. There are no fancy GUIs to guide you through making your game. It was designed as a professional game engine, and not a game maker, as you may think it is. The engine is, quite literally, exactly what NfoCipher posted a screenshot of: lines of code.
Since you know PHP, Ill use that as an example. PHP consists of a bunch of lines of code that, when ran, spit out web content (usually). Torque is a bunch of lines of code that, when compiled and ran, is a game.
Now, if you want to see what kind of game Torque is capable of making, you can play Tribes 2, Realm Wars, Marble Blast, Orbz, or Think Tank.

You keep asking for a "screenshot of the program." I still don't think you understand what the Torque Game Engine is.At the very core, torque is not graphical.

Also, I guess he missed the link near the TOP RIGHT of the page that say "Realm Wars" (beneath "Torque Game Engine"), which leads you to:
www.garagegames.com/mg/projects/realmwars/gallery.php?page=3
I admit this one is a little more obscure, but here it is:

I guess web site browsing is a lost art among the young-uns of today.

It's quite ironic that he's asking for screenshots when the Snapshot Gallery at the TOP RIGHT of most pages gives some great examples of games developed using Torque.Also, I guess he missed the link near the TOP RIGHT of the page that say "Realm Wars" (beneath "Torque Game Engine"), which leads you to:

I played Rune alot !
And i made about 50 maps and 2 mods and alot of mutators for Rune !
To make a game like Rune in Torque is really no problem
But !!!
You need to learn alot !
Its alot easier to do a map with rooms in unrealed
But when it comes to terrains and large outdoor maps
then i say Torque is far better then the unreal engine !

Don't worry about these guys Torque is not as complicated as they make it sound. For you I would recommend staying away from the actual source code for a while. Grab something like realm wars and play around with the scripts, there's an incredible amount of stuff you can make with scripts. then when you feel restricted by what the scripts can do, start learning c++ and then edit the source code.
Good luck to you.
