Yeah, sorry bout that, I never do that actually, guess I got carried away with the excitement :)

Has anyone released any games yet with T2D ? I see Zap may be one of them. Was Gish one ?

Gish was not one of them, it used its own engine.
Im not sure about ZAP.

Thanks Matthew :)

I am really excited, it looks as if T2D is just scripting right ? Not that is a problem, just I cant find a decent enough free editor ?

I will look into the threads posted on editors.

I also started going through the basic tut, it is awsome, except for some darn reason my ship does not fire, hehe, I will have a look when I get home tonight though :)

Also, I suck at graphics, so that is a big problemo for me :)

FYI ZAP! Actually was a "home grown" project built around TNL (NOT Torque) as the demo app for what TNL can do. It's been discussed from time to time about porting it to Torque completely (especially for the scripting interface), but it actually is not a standard "Torque App".

Oh, and hi! Welcome to the T2D community--and it's great to see the enthusiasm!

Don't worry. No good programmer should be able to draw, that would be like cheating Fate.

Welcome to the community. For an editor, I suggest you use jEdit -- it really works well for me, even though I never did get TIDE to really work.

Ok cool, I have downloaded JEdit :)

will play lots and lots when I get home from work :)

Although I've got JEdit installed, I must admit that I still use Notepad. However, given the grief I've caused myself over the past day or two due to typos and other silly mistakes, I may have to make the switch to an editor that can help me out a little ;)
