Is this possible?

First of all, I got the TGE demo and liked what I saw (also got constructor as it seams it is to work with maps).
So my first question is, what can I do with the demo? mods for the TGE without the source?
If this is the case, when I actually buy the sdk can I use anything I did with the demo?
Also, I am willing to learn, Torque script seams a bit easier than C++, is it?
I am aware that I can not do a action/rpg/platform game with thousands of assets, multiplayer, great story etc etc for my first try, of course I have dreams, but I am also a down to heart person who knows what a simple guy can acheive.
So for starters I would like to make a singleplayer thing, with a main character that goes about talking to people and solves one puzzle.
Can I do with with the demo? ( I have bills to pay and the sdk will have to wait for a wile) =)
If so, where do I start?

Thank you for your quick answer... where do I get this starter.fps?

I keep forgetting that 1.5.2 did not include the starter.fps demo. You can download it from the Torque for Teens site. The link is on the snapshot page there.

TorqueScript is easier than C++ and allows you to make changes to the engine on the fly.
You should be able to do that with triggers and such.
Take a look at the starter.fps mission to get an idea on paths and the general structure of the engine. Also, you should have gotten a Getting Started tutorial with the demo that will help you get around in the engine.
