TGE "For Dummies"

by Andrea Bigiarini · in Torque Game Engine · 05/29/2004 (3:45 am) · 5 replies

Thanks Craig to reply me.
I'm 47 but not blind!
The files browsed come from that section and are not well made.
My post was for find someone (a group?) that assemble all the concept in a simple "4 dummies" guide.
Not the right answer ... next one :)

Cheers
Andrea

On your left hand menu there should be a link saying "Torque Game Engine" under a heading "Purchased Products" Click it.

You will now be presented with the docmentation page for TGE. IT is vastly improving as of late and will provide a LOT of help.

It is structured in such a way that it teaches you from the ground up, and you can chose which bits you want to learn about (whether its programming/scripting or art etc)

Hope this helps.

(ps the only flames you'll get are for not finding this yourself =D)

EDIT: spelling

The whole point of that section is that if you read it your questions will be answered. You have either not read it, or not paid it sufficient attention.

There is a book by Ken Finney you may be interested in however.

Andrea, there are couple of new books on Torque that offer more than the online docs. I recommend _3D Game Programming All in One_ by Kenneth C. Finney

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/159200136X

I am very happy with my copy of this book!

THE "TGE FOR DUMMIES" is yet online!!!
Finally I've found an organized collection of all the interesting stuff and a perfect "Quick Start" tutorials (over 100 pages PDF format) HERE- Go to Torque section and download a zip file (13Megs) containing a fantastic set of tututorial written by the heroic Edward F. Maurina III.
The site includes also the section "Torque Notes" with thousands of the most interesting post of our community.
A MUST HAVE and I raccomend this to all NOOBS like me, skilled TGE user must have a look too.
Again thanks to Edward F. Maurina III for his efforts and for his detalied work.
Great job
