iTorque 2d to Torque 2d cross-compatibility?

by Michael Alexander · in General Discussion · 02/28/2011 (1:39 pm) · 1 replies

I just wanted to know if there is any to speak of? On the page for Torque 2d it says "Deploy to Mac, PC, Xbox360, Wii, and Iphone", but aren't iTorque and Torque different engines? Or are they the same but just require different licenses?

@Michael - The image you are referring to has an asterisk on it:

*Requires Additional Torque License. So, you would have to purchase iTorque 2D if you wanted to make a 2D game for iOS. Since that image's creation, Torque 2D and iT2D have become less and less similar.

The two still share a lot of similar code, but if you wanted to port from one engine to another you would have to put in some work. It's no longer a smooth 1:1 process. It is by no means difficult, just not a 1 click operation.
