Very Basic Starting from Scratch Guide

I'm very frustrated that the authors didn't finish this tutorial. I'm new to the TGE and this tutorial was very good in helping me understand how everything was being put together. Then leaves me hanging with a uncomplete total view!
Now when I try to find something that would show me the fundamental structure of what this tutirial was teaching me I can't find it! The links to the "Windows" Engine Overview in Online TGE Docs takes me to the "Product" page. There are too many tutorials to try to patch together! This is too time consuming and frustrating!
I not ready for the other tutorials yet, until I find out the complete fundamental structor of what this tutorial was teaching me. Where can I find a competed basic tutorial just like this?

The gettingStarted.pdf is the best "very basic" tutorial. It should be part of your download.Tony

I went through the "gettingStarted.pdf", but it doesn't teach you how to create a game from scratch like this one was doing. Again, it just left me hanging and I wish they complete it. It's the best tutorial here for starters. The "gettingStarted.pdf" should be the next step after this one or added to it.

The three part series from this page on www.garagegames.com/developer/torque/tge/ Developer Community. I went through the "gettingStarted.pdf", but it doesn't teach you how to create a game from scratch like this one was doing. Again, it just left me hanging and I wish they complete it.

I started that tutorial set before I was hired by GarageGames. My goal is to create a "starting from scratch" tutorial for all of the engines. While I do have to support all of the GG engines now, instead of focusing just on TGE, I am more organized and have a lot more tools at my disposal.
I'll do my best to link new tutorials to keep you going. Keep an eye out for posts and blogs I put up on this site to see what new stuff I'm working on.

@VcDeveloper - Wow, no one has every said anything I've made is the "best" of anything. I appreciate the compliment.

Thanks! I will keep checking back. I have been a software programmer for over 20 years now and I know when I see a good tutorial. Without understanding the basic structure of how to put a TG together creates limitations. So, please complete the tutorial, because I would appreciate it very much!
