Torsion IDE or Visual Studio Express?

by Katelan Moye · in Torque Game Engine · 10/17/2007 (10:25 pm) · 3 replies

Quick question....

I see posts how you can import your game as a project using Visual Studio Express... This confuses me as the Visual Studio packages are based on C++, C#, Visual Basic, etc, etc..... Microsoft obviously didn't make one for Torquescript....

I have pretty much decided that I will be purchasing Torsion, however before I drop the money on it, I want to ensure this is the correct decision. Is Torsion the best IDE I can use for Torquescript? How in the heck are people 'reliably' using Visual Studio products?

I'm not interested in using something that 'half works'... If using Visual Studio products is buggy with Torquescript, I want nothing to do with it and would much rather go with Torsion if it's a more reliable solution.

Feedback?

Torque is part C++ part torquescript, the C stuff you do in VS, the torquescript stuff you do in torsion.

I'll second this.

Use VS for the engine and tool changes, the Torsion IDE is a really good choice for TS editing, and the ability to set breakpoints in script is something that not many other editors are going to support.

Just my 2cent worth!

Good luck
