Hi. I was wondering if your book has an ebook format because I'm disable and I can't use my hands to turn the pages. I graduated from ITT TECH in game design. I am starting a game business.
Let me know about the book
Thanks
Noah

Regardless, the fact that there is an electronic versions means you might be able to find them around, but then they may not be what you're after as they're not so targeted at programing as scripting.

Not sure about The Game Programmer's Guide to Torque, but I do know that both of Kenneth C Finney's books (3D Game Programming All in One and the advanced version of the same) are available on ebrary. You might be able to access ebrary through your local library or through a university library near you, but I don't think it's generally available to individuals.Regardless, the fact that there is an electronic versions means you might be able to find them around, but then they may not be what you're after as they're not so targeted at programing as scripting.

I am not a really good codder, but I need to learn to make my first real game. Should I learn C# or C++? Look at this site http://www.learnvisualstudio.net
Do you know of any vedio learning sites or dvds for torque language

-C# is part of the .NET Framework, which means it is Windows only,
-C# is managed, much making it easier to write and learn.
-The Visual C# is very forgiving and user-friendly
-C++ can be difficult to learn at first.
-C++ is not very forgiving.
-C++ is usually much faster then C#
-It is normally harder to make a C# program run as fast as a C++ program, though if optimized currently, C# will run at almost the same, if not the same, speed as a C++ program.
-C++ is much more developed, making it easier to develop games for.
-C# is very new, which means there are not very many 3D engines and game dev resources on it.
Again, these are just my opinions(though based on what I have read). Do a few Yahoo! searches for C++ vs C#, if you can dig through the biased forum posts you can find some very easy things.
