Whew! Almost didn't make it =).

First Tutorial

This tutorial covers starting a Torque Game from scratch, with minimal starting files. The next tutorial, hopefully to be uploaded before the end of this upcoming week, will be a spin-off of this tutorial showing how to start a game from scratch without using the common folder.

The continuation from the first tutorial is planned to be uploaded 1 week from tonight, so wish me luck with it.

I have one last function to write, and the Selectron Creator portion of my AFX Creator tool will be complete. I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm going to send the current version to Jeff Faust and his team, and if they give me the green light, I'll upload the first version tomorrow. You'll be able to download and follow coverage of the tool in this thread: GUI for Building AFX Spells and Effects

So far, my tool has re-created every selectron from the AFX demo in half the time it takes to type out all the script code.

Ok...my mind is fried and it's time to take a break until tomorrow. Let me know if I missed anything.

No pictures this time. . .just go get the tutorial document in the resource or look at the pics from my last .plan.
