A Final Word

The common code base includes a ton of functions and methods. We have only touched on about half of them here. I aimed to show you the most important modules and their contents, and I think that's been accomplished nicely. For your browsing pleasure, Table 7.2 contains a reference to find all the functions in all common code modules.

One last thing to remember about the common code: As chock-full of useful and important functionality as it is, you don't need to use it to create a game with Torque. You'd be nuts to throw it away, in my humble opinion. Nonetheless, you could create your own script code base from the bottom up. One thing I hope this chapter has shown you is that a huge pile of work has already been done for you. You just need to build on it.
