Learning to make good games

by Bryce² · in General Discussion · 04/04/2009 (9:36 pm) · 2 replies

I have some experience in 2d game programming (although it was in game maker so i don't know if it really counts). Anyway i was wondering what would be the best sites/books/documentations for programing in torque with c++/torque script. i have the will to make very fun games but i have hardly any experience in programming with real languages. I have done some stuff with Delphi and pascal but that was only at school.

EDIT: i am using TGEA 1.7.1 with the afx core tech so i think the books that were listed by Steve wont apply as i think i read somewhere that the two engines are reasonably different.

Here are the links to the Torque books, they are probably a little outdated now that Torque 3D is being released.

Bryce,

I have read and highlighted, tabbed, and reread two of the books above Steve mentioned. They taught me some stuff, but I suggest working through the Fish Tutorials, Whack a mole etc. This is where it started clicking for me.
I came from Game Maker also, good program but not compared to TGB's capabilities. Hope this helps.
