Unreal is a free-to-use game development engine used by AAA studios and indie developers worldwide. It is a massive and powerful beast, but we break it down step-by-step so you can tame it. We start super simple so no prior experience of Unreal or coding is needed! And we will basically set up the movement functions, the action mappings and also the axis mappings. The whole project and the all functions are going to be made with C++.Learn C++, the powerful industry-standard language from scratch. By the end of the course, you’ll be very confident in the basics of coding and game development, and hungry to learn more. In this class we’re going to cover the editor basics and how to use every tool in the editor. We’re going to give you an overview of how the editor is laid out as well as how to customize it. Then we’re going to go and work on the viewport and what options do we have available inside the viewport and how do we navigate around it. The world outliner and how it works and what is it good for. The details panel and what does this do and what features does it give us when we use it. The modes panel and what available modes do we have when working in the editor and then an overview of the place mode. The content browser what is this giant thing for and how do we customize it to make it a little less unwieldy. And then finally the main toolbar are shortcuts to our common actions.
