About

This repository contains my implementation of the Unity Tanks! Tutorial game in Unreal Engine, the engine behind the popular game Fortnite. I am writing the game predominantly in C++, using blueprint subclassing where it's easier. The goal of this project is to illustrate the methods for creating a shared local multiplayer game in Unreal Engine, and to provied a common project for comparing Unity and Unreal.

Requirements:

Software

1. Engine: Unreal Engine 5.0.1 or newer
2. IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio Community or Xcode
   • The editor works on Linux, but Linux users must configure their environment to their specific system.

Hardware

1. A system that meets the Unreal Editor requirements
2. For Raytracing, a GPU that supports Hardware Ray Tracing.

Compiling it yourself

1. Ensure you have the software listed above installed on your computer.
2. Download this repository as a zip or clone with --depth=1

Editor only

4. Open the .uproject and compile now if it asks
5. Play!

From IDE

4. Right-click the .uproject file in the Finder/File Explorer and press Generate Xcode/Visual Studio Project
   • If this option is not visible, open the .uproject and go to File->Generate Xcode/Visual Studio Project
5. Press the Compile and Run button in your IDE (CMD+R in Xcode, green Run button in VS)
6. Play!
