Once you purchase a license, you'll have access to the complete C++ source code for the engine. Personally, I love keeping my logic in script languages, but that's me in most apps.

I know this, I see the build files and the torque scripts, because this, I would like to know, if anyone can show me a example with the build files, just it. I look in the Torque Script and it scared me. Very much complicated, I can't make my own source code, And is stranger for now.
just remember, I started with that engine now.

Thanks for the attenction and have a nice day.

We cannot share source code to non-licensees. But you can check the Torque source documentation under the documentation tab.

The reason we have script languages is because you can develop in them 10times faster than you can in C++ and without half the hassle (memory leaks, pointers, etc), so it really is worth taking time to learn Torquescript... if you're familiar with C++ it shouldn't be any big deal. You'll benefit in the long run.

Typically it's worth doing as much as possible in script and then the stuff that needs to perform faster, move that to C++ once the design is fixed.

The documentation that comes with the engine is a pretty good starting point if you're already a programmer. I would also recommend the TGE books. While they are oriented towards the older engine, the scripting code is solid in both.
