Torque and VC++ 6

by Alexandre Ribeiro de Sa · in Torque Game Engine · 03/23/2004 (2:35 pm) · 6 replies

Ahoy!

I'm extreme newbie on Torque yet... I've got the engine today :)

But I have some questions...

Where I can find some tutorials?
Other, I can develop my game only with VC++, or only with the CS script?


Thanks!

Welcome to GG :)

You can use C++ code and/or TorqueScript (cs) to build a game. TorqueScript is the easiest way to do stuff with the engine. You can also call the engine from C++ code, and you can even modify the engine code itself to add or modify features that you need for your game.

As far as tutorials go, there are LOTS. And more always on the way. To start, go to www.garagegames.com/docs/torque.sdk/. You can also check out the pre-release documentation which is linked to on that page.

There are several other tutorials as well, but where to go depends on what you want to do with the engine.

Do you want to make a game, some other project, or just try to learn about game engines? In the areas you are interested in, what level of experience do you have? If you are making a game or some other project, are you working with a team, or will you going solo? If you're going solo, you'll need to learn *a lot*... you'll have to be a designer, level builder, 3d artist, 2d artist, programmer, tester, and secretary. :)

Let us know the answers to these questions and we can point you to more specific resources.

Ahoy again!

Thanks for the info Josh, I already developed some games and demos on OpenGL and VC++ here in Brazil (http://sites.uol.com.br/alex_r), and I like to use the Torque for personal use, I like to use the Torque for the efects, and some other things :)


Thank again!

Cool Alexandre :)

Well, I'd suggest going through the official docs, and reading whichever parts interest you. As far as community documents go... there are many great resources to learn from. Have a look around the documentation and tutorial sections. :)

Try these links too:

ToRK Gamedev

Tourniquet

CodeSampler Tutorials

Those are just a few! There are many kickass tutorials relating to pieces of and enhancements for the engine.
