That's great. The Torque engine code improved tremendously over the years. In the early days, the code was rough, as it was inherited from a game studio that built it in a rush to ship a game and carried over from ~2001. It got better and better over time though and by 2006-2008, it was solid. Great performance, good features. Lots of the interdependencies at the system level were refactored and lots of the ugly bits of code (long inheritance chains, massive classes, etc) had been removed or deprecated.
Not sure how it continued to evolve later, or if they ever got rid of that scripting language... but it was on a good trajectory 5 years ago.
Glad to see it go open source, in any case. Lots of good memories with this engine and the smart, indie game community around it.
