Overview of this book

<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">In this course, which has been compartmentalized into three sections, you will be introduced to more advanced Unreal Engine 4 C++ programming concepts. A C++ tutorial will quickly go through the concepts of coding AI into UE 4 using blackboards and behavior trees. C++ debugging saves you hours of print-screen when you directly dig into all the runtime information.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">In the first section, you will learn about the Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine within UE4 and how to program basic AI functionalities within your games. Here you will also see how to create operators and functions in UE 4.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">Then you will explore shader programming in UE 4 to implement lighting and materials for your games. This will allow you to drastically enhance the visual appeal of your game and get to grips with all the aforementioned UE 4features.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">In the end, we present several application Programming Interfaces within UE 4 and show you how to utilize these APIs in your code base. APIs serve as a low-level index of Engine classes and functions and you will learn to execute logging, landscapes, and foliage. Also, the core API will be explored in the final section.</span></p> <h2><span class="sugar_field">Style and Approach</span></h2> <p><span id="trade_selling_points_c" class="sugar_field">This course uses a practical, step-by-step, recipe-based approach where your everyday problems will be solved by practical examples. The course has been divided into easy-to-understand sections so that you can learn the ropes of implementing AI, programming custom materials and shaders, and creating your own APIs in UE 4 at your own pace.</span></p>
