New to iTorque 2D

I am working through the tutorials for iTorque and find there is a lot missing - finding more questions than I can find answers for. Are there any other detailed tutorials out there? Any books you would suggest?
Any way I am coming over from GameSalad and look forward to stepping it up a bit.
In the TGB demo you can load multiple images from Project - resources.
I iTorque that does not appear to be available. How can I load multiple images at one time in iTorque?
Thanks in advance.

Started to learn objective C about 2 months ago - but very slow going. A new way of thinking.

If the issue is iTorque specific then posting what the issue is on here is your best bet. We can't help if we don't know what it is that you believe is missing from the tutorials.
Having said that your first port of call should always the big big reference list in the documentation that contains 99% of all the commands available to you.

iTorque's documentation is relatively new. However if any concepts are shared with iTorque and Torque 2D then you can take a look at the tutorials provided with torque 2d.If the issue is iTorque specific then posting what the issue is on here is your best bet.

I was where you were, no programming, besides some Flash about 2 years ago. I learnt by hassling the boards, but I do not necessarily recommend that. if you need help, just ask. Usually someone will provide answer. But as I have learnt, read read read is good advice. The material that is there is more than enough to learn the basics. As in, how to make object move here, do this, respond this way etc.

The most recent tutorials are what ship with the official documentation. Those are less than a month old. Much more is coming. There are a lot of docs to go through, so try not to just skim over them. The forums are your best resource for seeking help, but I also want to suggest you checkout our IRC channel:
Server: irc.maxgaming.net
Channel: GarageGames
You can get some immediate help with iTorque 2D in there, if your forum posts are not getting answered.

As far as other resources, there is a book, "2D Game Building for Teens" which uses basic programming in TGB examples. Not a bad reference point. But is not much more than the online materials.
What is your programming background?
