How to start with the engine
by _N1_C_k · in Technical Issues · 10/26/2008 (11:02 am) · 7 replies
Hello there !
I'am really new to the torque engine and iam searching
a tutorial on how to start coding with the engine.
How can i use c++ to build my first sample project with
the torque engine? A simple Link would be nice!
Even google couldn't give me a good idea on how to start ..
I've searched and searched and i only can find c# / scripting stuff
to work with the engine.
Do i have to write all the stuff in c# ?
As iam really unfamiliar with c# i would like to use c++.
Is there any "starter" tutorial like those on the irrlicht homepage for example?
Many thanks!

@Nick - You do not have access to the source code and compiler solutions. All you have at your disposal is TorqueScript, as Mike stated. To gain access to the source, you'll need the full SDK.@Mike - Thanks for jumping in.

The link above is a file share site to get a PDF file. It's Getting Started.pdf but this one is modified to clarify some parts and may be easier to follow.

Once you purchase a license, you gain access to C++. TorqueScript is actually very similar to C. You can do a vast amount of work in TorqueScript before you even get into the C++ workings.

You write out your game using Torque Script which is torques own scripting language. There are several tutorials in the docs section of the engine, and at the top of this forum.
