Recomended script editor and tutorials?
by Daniel · in Torque Game Builder · 05/21/2005 (11:52 pm) · 6 replies
A friend bought the torque 2d engine and gave me the task to learn it !! jaja, I am currently going through the basic tutorials that comes with the engine. I understand the code and all, but I have some questions:
what script language or programming language am I using? I can do it, I just dont know what is the language Im programming with ?
At the beginning of the tutorial, it says to use your favorite script editor, which one would you recomend?
Can someone point me to more resources of the torque 2d engine? tutorials, examples, etc!! The new design of the website is very cool, but for some reason I have more trouble finding what I want.

I like textpad (www.textpad.com). It's much friendlier to you if you don't have any experience with Unix. :P And there are TorqueScript highlighter modules for it, as well as a lot of other cool stuff.

All of these were made with Torque in mind or offer a Torque plug-in
I use Brain Edit Pro www.twinno.com/brainedpro/
Alot of people use JEdit with the TIDE (Torque IDE) plugin
www.jedit.org/
torqueide.sourceforge.net/docs/using.html
Others use Textpad wih its Torque plug-in
www.textpad.com/
www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=7266
There is also Tribal IDE
209.15.19.223/mirror/torque/
Ultra Edit is another one.
And the up and coming mCode formaly known as Torque Explorer.

Agree With Ben G., Textpad is a great editor.

Ultra Edit rocked back in the DOS days... could script it to run programs, capture the output and parse the information. Esp. useful for making it into an IDE around compilers and assemblers.heh, those were the days :)

There's a slew of good text editors out there. My hands-down favorite is vim www.vim.org. It takes a bit of effort to learn properly, since it doesn't work like most text-editor, but once you're a bit experienced with it you will work magic on your text-files. And don't believe anything those rabid Emacs-fans say about vim :-)
