About the Resource
Reflection Grid is a complete game tutorial where all steps and code examples are fully explained; readers will know what they are doing and why. Beginners will benefit from the thoroughness of the guide, while advanced users will master its techniques for use in their own projects. The Making Indie Games team believes all Torque users have something to gain by reading this guide, and we will reimburse all unhappy customers.

In Reflection Grid, players will be attacking opponents with lasers that reflect off surfaces. Players will defend themselves by moving left and right. Rotating barriers will serve as shelter and as a surface for laser reflection. A completed version of this game is located inside the .zip folder containing this pdf.

My team is looking to expand to larger markets. We are not sure about all the details of our next website, but we will post the details when we do. We are looking for feedback about Reflection Grid and are hoping we go out with a bang!

I would love to buy it and give a full run through review but currently am unable to pay the measly $12.50 fee.

I think I'll have to get the TorqueScript one too.

Bought this one and started right away. Too bad you consider ending this, because I really love the amount of information you have here. This is precisely the documentation that is needed for people to start with Torque.I think I'll have to get the TorqueScript one too.

Our new plan was make a new website that branched to other markets making resources for Java, C#, XNA, Torque, and possible Unity. We would also focus on resources with a short development life so we wouldn't put in a big of investment. However, the release of Reflection Grid and a test video I made for Torque Script, link below, seems to have gotten people back on the site and interested in our resources. Sales have almost reached a normal level. This spike in interest has inspired me to look into merging the new site with Making Indie Games. We will look into making our Java and C# resources with an emphasis on game development.

Sales have been severely down for five months. Half way through this project, I decided that we couldn't afford to make resources only for Torque. My team spent too much time developing TSIT2 and we didn't get a return from it.
