Can I Evaluate the SDK Function before I Buy it

#1 You can downlaod the demo or buy '3d Game programming all in one- Ken finney' book. You can learn a lot about the engine and create games with the demo. You will not be able to get the code unless you buy a license. There are many threads discussing what torque can do already. The main thing is you get ALL the code so can modify the engine to suit your needs.

#2 Browse the forums... if it looks like you can do what you need to with Torque then purchase a license to the sdk.. its only 100 dollars... Theres not a whole heck of a lot to lose.

#3 Just to reinforce: The demo is fully functional, and provides you the ability to do everything you would do with a TGE license except modify source code (which doesn't come with the demo).

The demo is not just a "watch me" demo--it's a fully functioning executable of the 1.3 code base, with example scripts (the very scripts that make the demo itself operate) to show you how many tasks can be accomplished.

#4 You can download the "Tutorial Base" from http://www.codesampler.com/torque.htm and read essential guide to torque( available at this page: http://www.garagegames.com/mg/projects/torque1/)

hope I helped
