T2D Documentation

by Hokuto · in Torque Game Builder · 03/19/2005 (1:46 pm) · 6 replies

Hi,

I got T2D today and I saw the pdf files in the doc folder, I know more documentation and examples will follow as GG guys can etc...

But since I bought Td2 and TSE together (got tge last week) and I only received the getting started email for TSE I was wondering if there was some online documentaion for T2D as there is for TGE and TSE... I know more docs will come later, I'm asking this simply because I didn't get a T2D getting started email maybe because my shopping basket had both items and only one email was sent

thanks

Just what's in there. Basically all the TGE script examples will still show you the ropes.

Do the tut that comes with the program and maybe some of the general scripting ones located with the regular engine info.

It all comes down to the same thing though. Gui is the same etc etc..

Like I said in the other post. The scripting is the same but it's a lot easier to keep track of in a 2D project.

Matthew "King BoB" Langley has created a html tutorial on creating the physics demo that he did and hopefully that will be out soon enough and there are other things in the works.

Like you, I am not a that familiar with the scripting but it seems easy enough to grasp.

You will learn a lot in the scroller example

Ok the Tutorial is up (and re-uploaded the file so the link in the resource works)

Torque 2D In-Depth Tutorial

Torque 2D Unofficial F.A.Q. (up to 48 questions now)

T2D Simple Debug Gui

Some things to get started, I know GG has lots of stuff in the works, I'll also try to get some more tutorials out (that one took me from 6-8+ hours to type up so I have a huge ammount of respect for tutorial creators now lol...

EDIT: I'll try and keep links to new resources for T2D on the Unofficial FAQ page :)

Hi Hokuto,

Many of the Torque docs also apply to T2D. Everything on the scripting and GUI stuff applies, for example. For scripting in particular there are lots of good existing docs, which you probably already know about. Just in case though, check out the Torque tutorials homepage. For scripting info in particular, check out the official TorqueScript documentation, quick language reference, and the TorqueScript functions and commands reference. These resources are all pointed out in Matt Langley's excellent unofficial FAQ, pointed to above.

For GUI stuff, we have very basic official documentation on the editor. Also the MinApp tutorial series covers the very basics of getting a GUI up and running all by itself in Torque (though this is simplified with T2D, it's still a useful read).

Yes Thanks Josh,
Indeed I was going to go through the TGE docs as it will surely be great learning material for both TGE and T2D.
It will also eliminate my worries about T2D taking time away from the TGE project, the fact that Scripting and Gui applies to both is
a great time saver as users will master both apps at the same time.
Great job with the included 4 PDF files shipping with T2D, plenty to get started with!
