Complete Noob question

I'm excited about torque, I realize there is a lot to learn. I don't know C++ at all. I know some of the simpler programming languages like basic (and some VB) and PHP. Ok here's my question, If I got MSVC++ 6 Professional - could I complile the demo (downloading the newest CSV first) and use scripting with the built in functions to start playing around, or do you have to be a wiz at C++ to get anything done?

You should be able to compile it fine, just follow all the information you have there. And start learning, you should be able to find alot of information on this site also :-). Also don't expect to much to soon, it'll come thou.

Good luck!

erm, i don't think there's source code with the demo, so no need to compile the demo.

You can compile the demo, I just compiled mine from the CVS source. You can however, just download the binaries for the demo.

Thanks guys. Eric assisted me via IRC along with the great step by step someone posted in the forums.

I have a compiled app, I could've downloaded it, but whats the fun of that?
