C++ Game Development and AI Programming in Unreal Engine 5

Developing games with Unreal Engine 5 becomes incredibly powerful when you unlock the speed and control of C++. If you want to move beyond basic visual scripting and write professional-grade game logic and smart artificial intelligence, mastering C++ is your next step. In this text-based course, you will transition from a programming beginner to a confident game developer capable of structuring clean C++ code and designing complex AI behaviors. You will learn how to bridge the gap between pure code and engine-specific frameworks, giving you the skills to build responsive gameplay systems and autonomous game characters. What you'll learn: - Understand core C++ programming concepts, including variables, control flow, object-oriented programming, and modern memory management. - Create custom C++ classes, actors, and characters designed specifically to run inside Unreal Engine 5. - Configure intelligent enemy and companion behaviors using AI Controllers, Behavior Trees, and Blackboards. - Implement modern player control schemes using the Unreal Engine Enhanced Input System. - Apply clean coding practices to manage game states, handle collisions, and trigger dynamic gameplay events. The course begins with the foundational principles of C++ syntax and object-oriented programming before guiding you through the Unreal Engine editor interface and environment setup. From there, you will read through step-by-step code implementations, learning how to write custom gameplay mechanics and structure advanced AI decision-making systems. This course is designed for aspiring game developers, programmers transitioning from other languages, and beginners with no prior C++ or game engine experience. Start your journey into professional game programming and bring your virtual worlds to life today.
