Description
In this course, you'll be creating an arcade-style top-down shooter game in Unreal Engine 4. The focus is to walk through the basics of major game mechanic implementation using mainly code with minimal contact with Blueprint. By the end of this course, you'll be confident enough with C++ to venture out and see what else is possible with it. Let's bring down that barrier to entry together!
