Week 12 -- Be more studious!

Nothing interesting to report this week. Just working on learning TGB and TorqueScript as planned. I've been somewhat unmotivated (and distracted by Puzzle Pirates), but it's going OK. I think I understand datablocks now. It seems that they may be useful for making a class hierarchy of enemies, for example, but only for data. There doesn't seem to be full class polymorphism in Torque, unless I'm missing something; you can assign a class and a superclass to each object, but can't actually define a class hierarchy.

So things aren't very exciting right now, but I think it's a good step to take. I'm basically learning how to use my toolbox before I try to build the house.
