Hi,
Im planing of buying the TorqueX bundled with XSI, but I hesitate cuz I really need more documentation and turtorials to learn TorqueX. Is there some closed documentation I get acces to when I buy TorqueX?
Or else, how I'm I going to learn this? I have bought Jonn Kanalakis exelent book but that only get me so far.
Is there any description off the api or something? I feel like Im in the dark to often and gets stuck on things that I really just should be able to look up somewhere.

When I started to look into TorqueX about a year ago this was the problem why I didnt start then.
So I thougt Lets wait and se, there will probably be more documentation. But still its almost as little as It was a year ago. And even if I can ask in these forums , wich is great, its usually take a day or two before it gets answerd. Some post never get answers. And this is really killing the insperation.
This weekend for example I planed to sit and code and explore TorqueX, but I ran in to problems right away, silly problems that an api could have helped me with.
I really think ToqueX seams great, and It uses C# wich I like. But with this low level of documentation I either have to wait for it to get better or look aroud for another engine.
And I am so tired of waiting :(

Thx its nice to be able to ask here, but the main problem is the lack of documentation.When I started to look into TorqueX about a year ago this was the problem why I didnt start then.

Now is a very good time to be specific, because I'm going to be dedicating a significant part of my time writing TX docs for the next week or so.

@Fredrik - Funny you should post this. I'm starting a round of content generation this week for TorqueX. If there is something specific you want documented, please start posting in the Official TorqueX Documentation Feedback Thread.Now is a very good time to be specific, because I'm going to be dedicating a significant part of my time writing TX docs for the next week or so.

Although TX is not as well documented as it should be, its a wrapper on XNA and C#. So therefore you can get information about it and XNA from Microsoft or various C# websites.
and until the docs are updated, feel free to ask here, and we will try to assist you in learning TX!
