There are a couple of minor, but annoying, bugs in the standard Torque 1.4 demo application:

1. When you run the Torque demo in full screen mode, and then task switch (using
Alt-Tab) out of the demo, the demo's task window disappears. You will then
not be able to switch back to the demo in any way, even though the demo
process can still be seen listed in the Task Manager's "Processes" tab list.
You would normally have to kill this process in order to run the demo again.
This problem does not exist when you task switch while in windowed mode.

2. Sometimes Ogg Vorbis sound files are not played properly - a different sound
will often be played in certain circumstances when in the game world. This problem
does not occur when only wav files are used for sound effects.

3. The "cheats" mode has been enabled in the scripts to allow players to spawn
the player character at the camera position using F7.

I have fixed these bugs in the version of the Torque engine demo (tge.exe) that 
ships on the companion CD in the 3D2E folder. I have also cleaned up some script
calls that were generating console errors--mostly looking for files that aren't
in the distribution of this version of the demo. Other than these bug fixes, the 
Torque demo engine executable that accompanies the book is identical to both 
the standard demo engine executable and the current stable release build of the 
standard Torque Game Engine SDK engine executable as of May 24, 2006. The executable
has been renamed to "tge.exe" (instead of "demo.exe") to distinguish it from future 
versions of the Torque demo that the reader might build or download.

The Torque Script files (*.cs, *.gui) in the 3D2E folder hierarchy are exactly those
of the standard Torque demo (downloadable from www.garagegames.com) as of 
May 24, 2006, with the two folders for the book, TOOLS and RESOURCES, added. The
script code and folder hierarchies in the RESOURCES folder are customized for use
with the book tutorials, and are not the same as the standard Torque demo.
