Torque 2D Video Tutorials and Articles

About our Efforts

Hello Torque developers. When we have deployed torquescripter.com in July our first goal was to create a new resource that target a different genre of games. At the beginning of this month we have released the Match 3 video tutorial series that covers the creation of a full match 3 game in Torque 2D. The code contained in this project can even be considered as a starter kit. After the release of this resource my team feels that we have a solid product lineup and have changed our focus to developing free content for the website. The rest of this blog post will discuss our new efforts.

Rock Paper Scissors Video Tutorial

Last weekend I thought it would be a good idea to develop a quick video series for the development of a full game in Torque 2D. This video is designed for those that want to break into development quickly and see the types of game that can be made with Torque 2D. I developed this series in hopes that if people like these videos series they may be interest in our match 3 video series.

Video 1 - Getting the images, setting up the level, adjusting the camera
Video 2 - Programming player controls, AI decission making
Video 3 - Adding a outcome to the game, setting up the win and lose backgrounds
Video 4 - Adding interjection images, moving interjections based on outcome
Video 5 - Adding multiple games, adding score
