Torque Beginner Experience

So I finally purchased Torque and let me say that it is great to be working with it. However, it can seem a bit overwhelming at the start. My big question was...where do I begin? I took a look at the starter FPS and found that there was just too much code to read. Not that I have a problem with breaking code down, but I prefer to start from skeleton code and build on top of it, testing everything until I am happy with it.

I ended up digging out 3D Game Programming All in One and using it as a resource. I must say that I am impressed. I actually read the book through without touching the engine. I didn't think it was a bad idea at the time, but you really need to work with the engine while reading the book. The questions that I needed answered were around the structure of the code and how it all worked together.

Once, I have my skeleton code written, I can now focus on creating. I'll let you know how I progress.
