Torque Script.

and a slight amont of C++ is also involved
but its mostly torquescript

cause i want to learn the code, where is the best place to learn it?

Coding help.

Haha. Nubs.

Torque Game Engine is coded in C++. The engine contains an interpreter for TorqueScript, a heavily C++ influenced language created by GarageGames for use with the engine. The language declares classes for use with game development, like the all-important 'datablock' class, which in turn has subclasses like 'ParticleData' and 'ItemData'. If you want to be good at TorqueScript, learning a bit of C++ wouldn't hurt.

He didn't ask what the game's engine was coded in. You're sounding a bit like a prick.

Well, technically, Blockland is written in C++. TorqueScript is a pseudo-language. So, while I may sound like and I may have intended to be a prick, I'm still right.

Technically, if you actually want to mod, you should know a good amount of both languages, I don't see how that is worth arguing over at all.

The game logic was written in TorqueScript, the engine was written in C++. The cs files can't be run without the engine, but the engine is a framework, it's a separate product, it's not unique to Blockland. Modifications were made to the engine, but that doesn't mean the entire game was written in C++. If you strip all of the cs files, you basicly get a modified TGE, so therefore I'd argue that Blockland was written in both C++ and TorqueScript.

Technically, you have to idea what you're talking about.

Technically, you're right, I should do my homework next time.

You might need to start building the doorways in your houses 6 bricks wide to make way for that big head of yours.

i do that jsut cause it looks cooler and is easyer to get through wehn noobs crowd it

Haha, here comes Ephi in a contest to see who can be the bigger richard. It's OK, Ephi...you win, you win.

'TorqueScript' is a name given to a set of C++ classes and interpretation instructions. But, in the end, it's all C++. 'TorqueScript' doesn't really exist. There is no spoon.

TheCannon187 · August 20, 2007, 07:58:25 PM

There's no cow level either.
