Who This Book Is For
This book is intended for game developers who understand the fundamentals of game design and C++ and would like to incorporate native code into the games they make with Unreal. They will be programmers who want to extend the engine, or implement systems and Actors that allow designers control and flexibility when building levels.
What You Will Learn
- Build function libraries (Blueprints) containing reusable code to reduce upkeep
- Move low-level functions from Blueprint into C++ to improve performance
- Abstract away complex implementation details to simplify designer workflows
- Incorporate existing libraries into your game to add extra functionality such as hardware integration
- Implement AI tasks and behaviors in Blueprints and C++
- Generate data to control the appearance and content of UI elements
