1 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,480 ‫Hello and welcome to the Obstacle Assault section. 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:15,740 ‫This is the first section we are going to be building a game using C++ in Unreal and the output product 3 00:00:15,740 --> 00:00:22,400 ‫is going to be this at least this is my prototype of the output, which is a obstacle course that you 4 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,120 ‫can navigate across. 5 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,140 ‫If we go ahead and play the game, we can see what it looks like. 6 00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:34,610 ‫We've got ourselves a cool looking character, some moving platforms and various assets, and we have 7 00:00:34,610 --> 00:00:37,850 ‫got these obstacles that we have to avoid. 8 00:00:37,850 --> 00:00:41,300 ‫They push us off the cliff if we don't get past them fast enough. 9 00:00:41,330 --> 00:00:49,220 ‫We've got these full guys inspired rotating platforms that we have to try and traverse, and then this 10 00:00:49,220 --> 00:00:52,730 ‫little sweeper here that tries to push us out of the way. 11 00:00:52,730 --> 00:00:58,970 ‫And once we get through, we get to the goal and to the temple, presumably to steal something. 12 00:00:58,970 --> 00:01:02,360 ‫So let's break this down in terms of what we're going to learn. 13 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,280 ‫So a bit of an action plan. 14 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,510 ‫First of all, we're going to create a project and bring some assets in. 15 00:01:08,510 --> 00:01:14,180 ‫So that cool looking guy and the various mountains and blocks that we're going to be using, then we're 16 00:01:14,180 --> 00:01:20,090 ‫going to take a little bit of a detour for about five lectures or so on installing the various tools 17 00:01:20,090 --> 00:01:26,120 ‫we need for C++ and figuring out how we can compile our C++ to run it. 18 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:33,080 ‫In the editor, we're going to learn some C++ basic syntax and figure out how to do very simple things 19 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:41,540 ‫in C++, and we're going to use that to make a platform that moves not backwards and forwards, but 20 00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:45,440 ‫just moves initially and will keep going for as long as we leave it. 21 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:51,560 ‫And then we're going to configure our moving platform so we can say how fast should it be? 22 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:58,280 ‫And then we're going to work on sending that platform back so we can have a platform that moves backwards 23 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,980 ‫and forwards, a classic moving platform. 24 00:02:01,070 --> 00:02:06,470 ‫And finally we're going to add rotation so that we can add in those little rotating platform puzzle 25 00:02:06,470 --> 00:02:07,640 ‫elements as well. 26 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,780 ‫So through the course of this section, what are we going to learn? 27 00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:16,460 ‫Well, we're going to look at functions, variables and branches again, except this time we're going 28 00:02:16,460 --> 00:02:20,000 ‫to see how we do this using C++ syntax. 29 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,960 ‫We're going to create a very own actor in C++ like we've done in Blueprint, but this time in C++, 30 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:34,370 ‫we're going to look at the uniqueness of C++ code structure and how that pans out for our programming. 31 00:02:34,370 --> 00:02:41,600 ‫We're going to look at C++ compilation, a process of turning code into binary the machine can execute 32 00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:47,990 ‫and how we can do this easily without restarting the editor using unreal live coding system, we're 33 00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:52,550 ‫going to link blueprint to C++ so that we can use the best of both worlds. 34 00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:59,300 ‫And we're going to learn how to be setting our own custom character classes so that we can play using 35 00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:02,750 ‫not just the standard assets included for us in a template. 36 00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:06,410 ‫So lots of fun stuff to learn and great projects to create. 37 00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:07,820 ‫I will see you in there.
