About the course
Ready to create third-person melee combat moments like your favourite AAA brawler games, and take your C++ skills to a new level in UE5?
Even if you're not a combat designer, this course is an awesome way to power-up your game dev toolkit. We’ll kick things off by coding a component for locking onto enemies, so you don’t have to keep messing with the camera. Focus on the fight, not the fiddling!
Next up, we’re diving into player combat. Learn how to make your game feel dynamic by cycling through multiple attack animations. Your characters won’t just fight—they’ll perform.
And what's combat without a killer stat system? You’ll build a scalable stat system using maps and enums. This makes sure your game can grow without turning into a tangled mess of code. It's all about writing clean, scalable code that lasts.
The enemies in your game won’t just stand there—they’ll be fierce! You’ll code an enemy AI that throws fireballs, charges at players, and keeps them on their toes. Your battles will be tough and thrilling, just like in the best action games.
This course isn’t like most others. We’re using C++ to write 90% of the game’s logic. Get ready to write over a thousand lines of code and pick up loads of new C++ tricks.
That’s a game-changer for anyone wanting to master Unreal Engine 5. You'll learn to use interfaces and design patterns like the observer pattern to make your game smart and efficient.
By the end, you’ll know how to build a game using advanced C++ skills and make it run smoothly. You’ll get confident with Unreal’s documentation, debug like a pro, and keep your code nice and tidy with best practices
Got the basics of C++ down? Awesome! If you know your variables, conditional statements, classes, and methods, you’re ready to roll. This course will take you from basics to building a full-on action combat game. Avoid the nightmare of messy codebases and learn to do things right from the start.
So, what are you waiting for? Jump in, start coding, and let’s create something epic together (pun intended!).

I'm a software engineer with ten years of experience specializing in web application development. Throughout my career, I've focused on designing solutions that are not only reliable and secure but also scalable and efficient. My priority has always been to create applications that offer a seamless user experience.
Many courses will show you "how" to do things without ever explaining the "why." I firmly believe that a deep understanding of the fundamental and critical concepts in programming is what sets a competitive engineer apart in the current market. I'm here to guide you on this journey, shedding light on the low-level concepts that others might overlook.
