Homebrew Wrestling Official Demo

Well, I've been successful enough that I wanted to put a demo out there for everyone to try. It's definitely been a learning experience, and really since this project is for educational purposes only, that's the point. I think it's fairly unique in terms of the types of games that can be created with TGE.
Here is the link for the demo...
gamingring.com/news/?p=3346
The game is exclusive to gaminging.com. The guys over there have been tremendous supporters of me and the project. Even back in the Macromedia Director (bleh) days.
As you'll see on the site, the main things to get out of the demo are as follows...
* Compatibility and performance with systems
* How to create, skin and save ring mats and aprons.
* How the Create-a-Wrestler will work. You can see that I'm obviously still working on moves. The total moveset is incredibly thin for now.
* How to play the basic engine (what buttons do what). For assistance, please refer to the instructions.doc Word document included with the game. Also, I have created an online instructional video to get the basics down.
* Help find bugs. I have a hard time releasing anything because just when I'm ready to do so, I find another bug and I want to fix it before I release. So I'm sure that there are plenty to go around.
* Release the code to the very geeky to see how I'm doing what.
I've heard of people having problems playing and I'm wondering if it's just dealing with not unzipping the file correctly. One person posted...
"So I downloaded the HBW 3.0 tech demo. I extract, open it, it works all fine. Well, except for one thing. When I start the game, the window is minimized so that I can't click on the 'Continue'-button. The window is so small that I can't even click on the 'options'-button to change the window size! I can only get into the options-menu by moving the cursor carefully onto the window frame and click on a wing and prayer. And the most depressing thing, I can actually get into the options-menu, but when I want to change the window-size, It doesn't works! When I try to change it from half-screen to full-screen, it just changes back to half-screen immediately.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this problem? (I'm using Windows XP, by the way)"
Others have had no problems whatsoever.
Anyhow, I wanted to give this demo out for everyone to try. The whole game is free so by all means look at the code and use anything you want to in your own projects.
My one question is this...
I want to utilize the camera shake function in torque. But I can't seem to get it to work with the 3rd person camera. I'm using the excellent "tracking camera" resource (www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=4720).
I've created a forum question, but so far no success...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So that's the latest.
Thanks! Have fun and God bless.
