Question

#1 #1. From my understanding you can make console games by the nature of Torque - it being basically cross platform. Youd have to modify some of the code, but how much depends on what console you are using. Im sure you could pretty much compile it for use on Xbox, and on the PS2 also if its a Unix, Linux, etc based system.

#2. Youd also need a license to make games for a particular console; stupid, yes - but unfortunately somehow legal....You also need to purchase a development toolkit for the system you want to develop for.

#3. Try making a useful Topic header for your future posts. Just putting "Question" is silly, as most of the stuff in the forums are questions. Kind of like asking "can I ask you a question" before presenting your real question. A good example might be "Torque on consoles?". It'll help people either read your post out of interest or pass over it if theyre not interested. To be perfectly honest, the only reason I first read this post was to make a smart@55 remark about what I just mentioned.

Happy Torqueing? - Torqing? - Torquing?? - bah forget it....

#2 @Kenneth:

Nate has a very valid point. When I logged in tonight, I had 73 unread messages (and I keep up almost hourly most of the time), and when I saw your "Question", I quickly debated reading it simply to say "you should post a more appropriate title", but then when I looked at the content of the message, I decided to blow it off completely.

This decision process wasn't to be rude, but the question itself begs a couple of things:

1) You obviously haven't looked around the forums much. Just today, the top resource listed is an interview with Justin from 21-6, and they mention in that the Orbz port to XBox. It also has been mentioned in several forum questions/answers over the last couple of years.

2) You most likely didn't search the forums at all. Entering "porting to console" in the search window, and setting the search area to "Forums", and I got 4 pages worth of topics about it, including one specifically about XBox.

3) Would my answer help more than just one person that probably could have researched more themselves? Answer was "no" (other than talking about how to ask a question), simply because the title was worthless as a search return, so even if someone else did do "porting to console" as a search, when they saw this thread come up as "Question", they would (and should) completely ignore it.

Note: I didn't even come back to the question at all until after I had read all 73 of the posts (excluding those with terrible titles!), and then updated my unread posts again and saw it had an answer, and got a little curious to see if anyone actually gave an answer!

Again, I'm not trying to be rude or mean here, simply trying to describe how and why questions get answered quickly, or wind up being ignored/given quick and brutal answers.
