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 worlds 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. TGBs 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, dont 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.

Expat Converter is a simple measurement units converter.

Most of the world uses the METRIC system! Not only that, the metric system seems to make much more sense over the Imperial System (aka The English System) because of the convenient use of the units of 10.

That said, when someone says its 5 degrees celsius outside, they might as well be speaking Martian. (Im just too used to fahrenheit.)

This free application made with RealBasic is a converter for expats or anyone needing to convert something from one system to another. I hope it comes in handy for you.

Ever need to quickly preview a colour by it s HEX or RGB code? What about convert between HEX and RGB codes quickly?

FO Converter is a JavaTM component designed to convert XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) to formats compatible with MS-Word, namely Rich Text Format (RTF) and WordprocessingML (WML).

In other words, it can be used to convert XML data or XML documents to MS-Word documents.

FO Converter preserves the structure of the original document and most of the presentation information (font attributes, indentation, etc). The RTF output conforms to version 1.6 of the specification and is compatible with MS-Word 2000 and newer versions. The WML output is compatible with MS-Word 2003.

FO Converter, as a software component, is intended for integration in a servlet or desktop JavaTM application, through the use of a high-level API. However, stand-alone applications using the conversion engine are also provided. These include command-line executables and a graphical user interface.

Whats New in This Release:

Enhancements
· Better handling of white space at the beginning/end of a paragraph.
· Fixed issue with characters - and . in id property values. (The RTF loader of MS-Word replaces these characters with _ (underscore) in bookmark names.)

Bug Fixes
· List item labels containing non-textual objects (e.g. images) were not handled properly. (This bug was introduced with version 2.1.)
· The body of a footnote was ignored if the footnote element was a child of another inline-level element.
· Bad shorthand property values (e.g. border="1") would possibly result in a ClassCastException.

Do you have a bunch of text files that dont have the correct linebreak format for your needs? Did you just download that great Perl package only to find out it wont work on your Linux, Unix, of OSX box because the linebreaks are in DOS format?

Linebreak Converter will take care of the problem. It will convert text files to UNIX, DOS, or Macintosh format.

Just select the format you wish to convert to and the folder that contains the files.

In Office 2007 Microsoft introduced a new file format called the Microsoft Open Office XML Format (.docx). This format is not compatible with older versions of Microsoft Word or with alternative operating systems like Linux or Mac OS X. Nor is it compatible with other word processing applications like OpenOffice, Lotus 123, or NeoOffice.

The Docx-converter Dashboard Widget allows you to convert files right from your Desktop. Simply drag the .docx file you want to convert into the drop area of the widget (click to drag, push F12, drop) and the widget will automatically convert the file and save it to the location of the original file (with a .htm extension) and (optionally) open it in your web browser.

Best of all, any updates or feature additions to the website will automatically be reflected in this widget!
