Hi, I'm new to the fourms here at garage games. I have purch. Torque Game Builder and i has wondering if anyone had or knew where i could get a tutorial for a card game. Something along the lines of a collectable card game. Any help would be great and am looking forward to helping others in the future with once i get a good understanding of Torque.
Thanks Again,
Jonathan

My suggestion for you to get started is to look through some of the existing tutorials, and see what fits and forms to your game type. Then implement what you can from those, and if you get stuck ask questions and someone should be able to answer them (with some luck).
If you're looking for a quick and dirty way of getting what you want done though, you could simply create a level, a player, add in the input interactions (movement), world bounds, then populate with cards. You'd have to add collision to the player and the cards, and probably throw in a GUI counter for your collections. This would get you started, then it's just a matter of enhancing it.
Good luck.

Honestly, if you're new at this I wouldn't go quite as far as Jason says. You really don't have to get a client-server app running (that's a bit more than most need anyway). I'm assuming you're looking to get a game up and running so that wya it's at least a single player type of feel, and you can go in and do your thing. That's what most people do, and honestly the client-server stuff gets pushed because a lot of people simply don't quite get that concept completely (and plus there's not much in the lines of tut's for it here yet).My suggestion for you to get started is to look through some of the existing tutorials, and see what fits and forms to your game type.

If you're looking for specifics on getting something working, I'd be more than happy to help get you started along. I've been working with Torque for a while now, and I'm mainly a focused programmer/scriptor, I've spent countless hours on end getting things working. Shoot me an e-mail if you want, and I can send you some relevant info to help get you going.kirksander (at) hotmail (dot) com

Upon re-reading of the original post, nothing mentions it being a multiplayer card game. My mistake.

There is a memory game tutorial on TDN, I beleive it's in the archived and out of date section though, so some scripts may not work correctly in the latest version of TGB, but it is a card game and can probably help you get started with the basics.
