Ok i am about to buy torque game engine. i just have a few questions.
1. i know no C++ i only know vb.net. I am planning to learn C++ though. Do i need to know c++ to use torque engine?
2. I have a ATI Radeon XPress 200M, 384m in Ram, a AMD Turion 64, 1.79 GHZ for my PC is that good enough for Torque Game Engine?
3. I think there is a world editor Torque Gme Engine, Is there a Charater modeler includded also?
can i use characters i made in An8tor,blendor and milkshape in my games?
is the world editor included with torque for the $100 version

There is no other demo, the one you have downloaded is the right one. There's even a help screen that tells you about the editors and how to use them.

Hit F10 for the GUI editor, F11 for the world editor. There is no other demo, the one you have downloaded is the right one. There's even a help screen that tells you about the editors and how to use them.

How long your order will take to process depends upon how quickly your payment can be verified. In my case it was virtually instantaneous.

Torque is supplied as an electronic download, which you can access multiple times.How long your order will take to process depends upon how quickly your payment can be verified. In my case it was virtually instantaneous.

It's a download. Once you buy, you'll get an installer with the source and project files; you can get the latest code from CVS. To answer your earlier question, there is no character modeler. Milkshape ($20) is recommended; Blender (free) is often suggested; Wings3D (free) appears to be well-loved as well. Also, someone here (sorry, I forgot who) in the community is making something called Shaper that is pretty nice, too.

The installation is there documentation in it? Cause i cant find anything in the demo.
Is the actually engine just clicking f10 and f11? to find the mission editor and gui?

C#, torque script is C#?

No, torquescript is just a scripting language (like javascript is a scripting language) made for the torque game engine. The engine itself was written in C++.

You can open the .cs files in whatever you want. I use notepad most of the time for small changes, but other development environments may prove to be of more use, such as CodeWeaver (my preference), or Torsion.

2. Barring any odd driver issues, yes.
3. No modeller is included, there are exporters for Blender and Milkshape.
The world editor is in the demo, you don't even have to buy it to use try it out.
