Torque 2D gives developers complete access to the source code. This removes all barriers one may hit when trying to extend and/or customize the engine they are working with.

Torque 2D runs on Windows, OS X, iOS, Android, Linux, and Web.

Torquescript is a fast and easy to use C++ like scripting language that ties all of the various elements of a project together. It supports a large complement of functions including math, physics, object manipulation, fileIO, and more. Torquescript features:

• Object-oriented programming
• Transparent interconnection with internal C++ objects
• Built-in fast 2D math (vectors, matrices, and quaternions with all corresponding functions)
• Well-documented standard library (hundreds of functions out-of-the box)
• Component system (aka Behaviors)
• Dynamic asset and module loading

The engine utilizes a combination of batched rendering, asset management, and a module system that allows for high frame rates on all platforms.

Torque 2D MIT's utilizes Box2D for all physics calculations. Anyone with prior knowledge with Box2D by itself or through other engines can easily transfer their knowledge. Nearly all of the Box2D API is exposed to the scripting language, making it a quick process to port games to the engine without having to learn an entirely new system.
