Overview
This repository contains my coursework from Tom Looman's Professional Game Development in C++ and Unreal Engine course, which he originally taught at Stanford University.
This project contains all of my assignment solutions, additional tasks, improvements and the coursework itself.
After learning all other parts of the engine for 5-7 months besides C++, I originally started this project in April of 2024 and after dedicating most of my free time to it, finishing in October of the same year.
Goal
After getting a general hang of the engine itself (blueprints, materials, Niagara, modelling, environment art, etc...),I wanted to dive deep into C++ programming inside Unreal itself.
Having been a software engineer for most of my professional career, I did not want to start with a tutorial or similar that was aimed at beginners. Luckily, Tom's course is 100% aimed at those who are already familiar with programming and teached only UE-specific concepts.
Project features
A ready-to-use gameplay framework that makes it easy for designers and other developers to add features based on the building blocks of the framework I made.
The project is a culmination of about 7 months of work, encompassing most of my free time, thus an exhaustive feature list would be... exhaustive. The list of major features completed are some of the following:
- Third Person Character movement with Enhanced Input.
- Multiplayer/Replication support for all available gameplay features.
- An ActionSystem similar in implementation to Epic Games' GAS.
- Low performance overhead.
- Replication support with prediction and server-side authentication.
- Utilises GameplayTags throughout.
- Support for Actions (one-time) and Effects (over-time).
- Blueprint Action & Effect support for easy iteration for designers.
- Some actions include:
- Damaging projectile ability.
- Black hole projectile ability (gravity affects simulating objects).
- Dash ability (projectile teleportation).
- Reflection ability (reflects projectiles back attackers).
- Some effects include:
- Fire damage over time effect.
- Stunned effect.
