Is there a good tutorial out there? I just got the software and I want to learn how to use it.

Thanks

@Paul - Have you gone through the Getting Started tutorial? It's a PDF in the same directly as the executable and demos (starter.fps, tutorial.base, etc).

You should also try reading through the TGE documentation landing page:

@Paul:

Get Ken Finney's books, "3D Game Programming All-In-One" (make sure it's the one authored by Ken Finney) and "Advanced 3D Game Programming All-In-One," as well as Ed Maurina's books, "Game Programmer's Guide to Torque" and the other one...I don't have it so I forget the name.

Ken's books are great, and are still relevant, with the exception of a few bugs that need to be tracked down. I was able to use them both successfully with TGEA 1.7.1. Ed's book is pretty good too, but I haven't looked at it in a couple years so I couldn't provide you with any details.
