Have anyone used Torsion with TGB? I'm worried...

I was going through the tutorial at http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/T2D/TGBTutorials/WindowsSystemSetup, and it recommended that I download and install Torsion. I did, but now I'm worried. I was going through their initial "Creating a new project" tutorial, and noticed a number of typos and grammatical errors (I know, I'm being a grammar nazi - but after proofreading ALL the dialog in my last game, I can't help but notice these things). I also found the tutorial to be a bit confusing - and the frequent use of the word "thru" is... well, it's a little scary.

I encountered this sort of thing when I tried using Multimedia Fusion 2 and Game Maker - and I've learned that it can be a warning sign that a program isn't powerful/professional enough for what I'm trying to create.

I was wondering if anyone who's used Torsion with TGB could tell me their impressions on the subject - Maybe I'm being too paranoid? (I hope so)

Torsion is one of the most important tools you can use as a Torque developer. A decent alternative is Codeweaver.

Either way, using Torsion will provide you with a powerful script editor and TorqueScript debugging capabilities. To answer your question, yes...you are being paranoid =)

Where is this "Creating a new project" tutorial? Can I get a link?

Hah. I wrote that tutorial. I know my grammar and spelling suck... yet i somehow manage to make it *thru* the day. ;)

If your concerned about the quality of the product... then try it... we provide you a 30 trial for just that reason.

@Michael - It's in the Torsion help file.

*corrected for non scariness*
