Can I use C ++ instead of TorqueScript?(noob)

[noemen]

I am studying c ++ and right now I don't want to have to study another language. Is it possible for me to practice my studies by doing some tests and games on Torque 3D?

C++ is harder than Torquescript and they are not really different languages, they are very similar. Sure you can do all your game in C++, but it will be much harder, that is why script languages exist, to make things easier and faster to build.

Is it possible for me to study TorqueScript along with C ++? Will it disturb me?

Thank you so much for taking the time to help a noob. lol

No, it shouldn't disturb you. I hope I am not breaking the forums guideposts for sayiung this, but if yo haven't already picked up a C++ IDE, give Embarcadero C++ Builder a try. It is part of their RAD Studio lineup, and is a much easier tool to use than Microsoft's Visual Studio choice. (Of course, if you want a paying job in the gaming industry, it doesn't hurt to pick up $M's IDE. Both companies have freely available choices to choose from.)

The Visual Studio Community versions are all free and works very well. Also learning more than one language should be a must as a programmer/developer/game dev.

You can therefore safely dig into any Torque Script tutorials and STILL learn C++ along side that. No harm done.

 

Thank you so much, because I doubted that a lot. I've always heard that I should learn one language first and then another, and my goal is to help the Torque3D community as well as create my games.

You made me feel good about it, I just have to thank you in advance.
