In this course, you’ll be creating an arcade-style top-down shooter game in Unreal Engine 4. The focus is to walk through the basics of major game mechanic implementation using mainly code with minimal contact with Blueprint. By the end of this course, you’ll be confident enough with C++ to venture out and see what else is possible with it. Let’s bring down that barrier to entry together!
SKILLS YOU WILL GAIN
An understanding of a core game loop.
An understanding of how design meets implementation.
An understanding of the implementation of core game mechanics.
All previously mentioned skills are transferable to any game engine such as Unity and Godot.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Communication between C++, the Unreal Editor and Blueprint
Declaring and defining functions
Setting function parameters and specifiers
Class referencing and communication
