Demo App

Where is it? And which file do I open to compile (like the main one)? I stored Torque in the default directory. Does it come with the tools when I downloaded the already compiled one? Thanks for your time.

Read the getting started *documentation* to 'get started'.

The Getting Started overview is not this specific. Addison, the default compile of the Torque will place the torqueDemo_debug.exe in the folder torque/example. The default build is the FPS:Starter Kit. You can run "mods" of this demo to get these other examples. The best way to do it is to create shortcuts so you can easily start them any time you want (Note: these paths assume you installed Torque at the default c:\torque).

Racing Starter Kit: C:\torque\example\torqueDemo_DEBUG.exe -game starter.racing

Torque Tutorial Base (TTB): C:\torque\example\torqueDemo_DEBUG.exe -game tutorial.base

Show Tool: C:\torque\example\torqueDemo_DEBUG.exe -game tutorial.base -show

I will make sure to add this to the new documentation, plus I just made a FAQ. It would be great if somebody could proof the FAQ to make sure I got it right and didn't forget anything.

Looks pretty good. Some newlines would really enhance the readability.

Also, you might note that if you do a "release" build, that the file will be torqueDemo.exe, and that the visual studio project files currently in CVS will error if you just run the program with F5. (I'll try to check in a fix for this soon. It's a simple setting to tweak and it really ought to be right.)
