Torque Game Builder is the world's most powerful and easy-to-use 2D game engine. Built atop the common Torque core architecture, it offers many of the features of our cutting-edge 3D game engine, but customized for 2D gameplay. With developments paths that allow publishing to Windows, Mac, Xbox 360, Wii, iPhone, and even web platforms, your game will reach the widest possible audience. And with its intuitive and powerful editor, anyone can jump into game creation with little to no prior knowledge.

Your license to Torque Game Builder provides you with a 100% complete 2D feature set.

Torque products are built on a common architecture, but optimized per platform and TGB supports a wider range of platforms than any other modern game engine technology. Build on a PC or Mac, and then deploy to Wii, Xbox 360, iPhone, and even web portals all from the same project.

TGB's Level Editor provides an entire suite of WYSIWYG tools for designing and editing a game. The Level Editor is fully integrated with the Torque runtime and provides full access to all Torque subsystems allowing for:

• Object placement and manipulation
• Property inspection and editing
• Asset importation
• Sound and video
• Performance profiling
• No compile time
• Particle effects
• Tile manipulation
• Asset management
• Behavior assignment

TGB's powerful 2D rendering is perfectly suited to achieving a custom, original-looking style. It supports all common 2D rendering techniques. TGB's graphics API includes implementations for all types of hardware and operating systems performing on more than 99% of all gamer hardware (Steam Hardware Survey). Console graphics implementations for the Xbox, iPhone, and Wii provide a straightforward path for developers to reach gamers on those devices as well.

TGB allows users to share snippets of code easily within the editor. Simply create a behavior, send the behavior file to a friend, and tie the file to the editor. This allows coders and artists to share gameplay elements without ever writing a single script.

TGB's integrated networking system makes implementing turn-based multiplayer options a breeze. RPG and RTS games can be made to easily support multiplayer modes on any network.

Torquescript is a fast, easy to use C++ like scripting language that ties all the various elements of a project together. It supports a large complement of functions including math, object manipulation, fileIO, and more. Torquescript allows for compiling on-demand for runtime execution with the integrated script compiler. Torquescript features:

• Object-oriented programming
• Transparent interconnection with external C++ objects
• Built-in fast 3D math (vectors, matrices, and quaternions with all corresponding functions)
• Well-documented standard library (hundreds of functions out-of-the box)

Most game functions can be programmed in Torquescript, and engine additions such as physics or intense AI coded in C++ are called from script.

TGB physics are modeled after real-world Newtonian physics. Apply inertia, linear velocity, angular velocity, friction, restitution, relaxation, damping, or a number of other physical attributes to your object and watch it handle interactive collision with perfect scaling.

Torque provides for fully customizable GUI module including:

• Widgets, containers and dialogs
• Transparency, animation
• Easy-to-use GUI files
• Skins support
• Support for Eastern languages
• Localization packs support

TGB uses the OpenAL sound library by default and supports a wide range of features. These include:

• Stereo, Streaming Sound
• SFX/Music driver
• 2D sound support for panning, volume, Doppler, cones
• Multi-channel prioritized SFX manager
• Built-in Theora video codec playback

For TGB Pro licensees, clean, fast, robust C++ APIs for Torque's major systems enable use of any commercial middleware. You can use Bullet for physics, FMOD for sound, or create your own custom implementation.

TGB is available with many different Genre Kits. All Genre Kits combine expert coding with world-class optimized in-game art assets for a quick start to any new project. Choose from

• ISO Adventure Kit
• Platformer Kit
• Kart Kit
• Side-scrolling Shooter
• More coming soon...
