I like the documentation

by David Stewart · in Torque Game Builder · 08/02/2005 (9:10 pm) · 6 replies

I can't afford it, but I just got T2D today.

I'm impressed with the docs and wish TGE had the docs that came with T2D.
I'm just going through the basic tutorial now and it couldn't be better.

Thanks GG crew.

Yeah, the basic tutorial is great.. really well done.

The main problem with T2D docs is that we don't have access to a lot of general TGE stuff that we need. But if you already own TGE then it's no problem.

Doesn't the book 3D Game Programming All In One cover much of the TGE related stuff? I just bought it.

Well, i think books are good for learning, but something is very wrong with the API's if a 3rd party book give better reference documentation than your own docs.

I dont own TGE mind you, so i dont know what those are like.

Good point. If this information is publically available what being published and all, why not give users the details on the entire API? I bought the book yes, but no way will I buy TGE just so I can learn T2D... maybe they are waiting until it gets out of the E.A. stage?

They are working on TDN (Torque Developer Network - a wiki) to fix some of those document sharing issues :)

EDIT: btw for some T2D tutorials you can go here.
