Hi,
Does anyone know if there are any Design documents, showing the Architecture of Torque Game Engine? I can't find anything about Architecture in the Code Documentation.
I am a student and our group is editing the Torque Game Engine for our client. We have to create a design for these changes, however we are finding this difficult since we don't know the design for the current engine.
Thanks for your help.

We need a high level overview of the architecture of the engine. Was there any documentation created before the Torque game Engine was, outlining its design? Possibly an SDD? SADD?

This is the article from the presentation that Tim and Mark presented at the GDC some years ago. This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it will give you insight into the design intent of the engine.

Be aware that Torque was developed internally at Dynamix for many years before it was repurposed as a game engine product. That's why the documentation is a bit rough for such an otherwise mature product. There is a file called engine.overview.txt that goes into a pretty good overview of the engine.
