Overview

In this mini-project, I took what I learned of C++ and Unreal Engine, and brought them together, better utilizing each of their strengths. 

Breakdown

This project was essentially an intro or crash course into the basics of integrating C++ in with Unreal Engine. I used assets from Unreal’s Learning Kit: Games, as well as the Stylized Character Kit: Casual 01 from Epic Games. From this I used C++ to build a small obstacle assault course. Majority of the movement for each of the platforms and cubes were coded in C++ and then created child blueprints off of that to implement the static meshes for each of the assets. Within the C++ code I learned and implemented things like:

• FVector
• FString
• Float
• int32
• “if” statements
• Functions:
  • GetActorLocation()
  • SetActorLocation()
  • GetName()
• UE_LOG()
• UPROPERTY()
• Member Functions
• Return Statements
• Const
