Strategy Tutorial

by Owen Snyder · in Torque Game Builder · 02/17/2009 (6:04 pm) · 5 replies

The strategy tutorial is list as being outdated/made with and older T2D version. Will the code in from the strategy tutorial not work with the new version of TGB? Also, if anyone knows where i can find information or tutorials for making a strategy game it would really help me out. Thanks.

The tutorial was made for TGB 1.1.3 I believe. So no it won't work without some adjustments. You're probably better off taking the concepts from it and remaking it with TGB 1.7.x than trying to follow it like a walk through.

You may also be interested in the Turn-based Strategy Genre Kit for TGB.

@Joe - that Turn-based Strategy Kit for TGB exist? It shows that it is there - but that link you gave just goes to the general TGB page - there is no link there for the kit you reference.

I know. that was kind of a joke. sorry about that. it doesn't exist and we've been trying to get them to take that off the product page for a while now.

LOL - gotcha - I made some comments (actually got a Michael Perry to reply to it) about the TGB and it's ability to deploy to Linux/Wii/iPhone/Web etc etc with just the standard purchase on another thread last night...

Well - and with web deployment at all. They really NEED to take that off the site until it actually exists.

@Eric:

Yeah, what we need to add is a note after those are listed that beyond Mac and Windows it may require an additional license (which also gives you access to additional platform specific code).


@Owen:

Joe said it well. A lot of the scripts will work for the most part, so going through it can be valuable, but as you go through it keep in mind you may have to re-adapt some of the code for it.

I wrote that tutorial over three years ago :)
