Torque 2D is the next generation 2D game development engine. Extending the Torque Platform to the exciting and growing area of 2D gaming.

Make your game with the world's most powerful 2D game engine, Torque 2D Game Builder (TGB). Built upon the amazing power of GarageGames' Torque Game Engine (TGE), TGB takes advantage of powerful new hardware and software development techniques to allow massive numbers of sprites, parallax scrolling backgrounds, intermixed 3D objects, TorqueNET Lite networking, swept polygon rigid body physics, and ultra-fast collision detection. TGB's CodeOnce platform architecture allows your TorqueScript and custom C++ code to run on PC, OSX, and XBox360 or to bring your project into our other 3D game engines.

All of this power is made accessible through use of the Game Builder Editors for user interface creation, effects, tiles, level building, and packaging, making TGB approachable by anybody with the desire to make a game. If you know Visual Basic (tm), Javascript, or use Flash(tm) and Actionscript(tm), you can make TGB work for you. But, don't let the ease of use fool you because TGB is an extremely powerful engine. Imagine hundreds of sprites colliding with parallax scrolling backgrounds, using Physics, and even interacting with 3D objects at the same time. You are not dreaming. Make it fast. Make it fun!!

Torque 2D Game Builder joins the Torque Game Engine (TGE) and the Torque Shader Engine (TSE) to round out the suite of game engines that make up the Torque Game Development Platform. All of these engines use TorqueScript and have the same underlying development methodology, so combining your TGB product with either of the 3D engines is an easy port.

Requirements:
G4 +, 128MB RAM
OpenGL compatible 3D Graphics Accelerator
Supported Compilers: XCode (OSX only). Others with community support.
