Tnl Vs Tge

What are the differences? If I'm making a game, would I want TGE, or TNL?

TGE is a game engine, TNL is a network library (thus Torque Network Library), which handles things like sending data over a network (LAN, the Internet, etc.).

AFAIK, all the functionality of TNL is included in TGE.

TNL would be of interest if you already had a non-networked game engine and wanted to make it networked.

There are a couple of things like encrypted streams that are included in TNL but not in TGE. There is also a simple master server implementation in TNL.

But for the most part, it is for adding networking to another engine that needs it.
