Breakout Tutorial - Part 5 of this tutorial series was added this month. Great way to learn more about programming in Torquescript.

Platformer Mechanics Tutorial - This is an update to the popular ninja MiniPlatformer tutorial. Now broken into 3 sections, this tutorial series covers creating a simple level, handling player control and animation, and a camera behavior. Written for TGB 1.7.2, the mechanics took into account the "quirks" in the current collision and physics systems (with many of those issues now resolved though with the upcoming 1.7.3 update).

Geometry Wars Controls Tutorial - A short tutorial on adding a movement behavior that mimics the controls seen in Geometry Wars.
