Prepare for Unreal Engine 5! Learn the fundamentals of the C++ programming language as well as Unreal Engine’s code base for creating and packaging a complete hack and slash action game. Implement combat, AI and Behavior Trees, animation, gameplay mechanics, interfaces and delegates, collision and physics, ray casting, game saving, menu and HUD creation via UMG, and much more.

You are likely picking up this book because you want to program in Unreal Engine. If that is the case, this book has many incredibly interesting things in store for you. We will start at the beginning by answering the fundamental question: What is Unreal Engine? We will then dive right in by explaining how to get started downloading the engine and Visual Studio – an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) (or Xcode if you are on a Mac), which we will use while we program video games for Unreal Engine.

If you don’t know C++, the programming language used in Unreal Engine, don’t worry. This book will teach you C++, and you will have a valuable reference filled with examples of the C++ principles you will use as a game developer. Tab the book, put in bookmarks, post-it notes, and highlight it. It will serve you as a reference to check back on while you develop your games.

The same goes for the rest of the book. This book takes you through the process of creating a third-person action game, complete with character movement and combat, enemy artificial intelligence (using Unreal Engine’s sophisticated Blackboard AI system), menu creation and much more. Throughout your game development career, you can refer back to the examples in this book to see how things are done when you create your own games.

If you wish to learn Unreal Engine 5, the principles in this book will still benefit you and apply. At the time of writing, Unreal Engine 5 has not yet been released, but Epic Games has announced that you can learn Unreal Engine 4 today and convert your project to Unreal Engine 5 whenever you’re ready.
