Hello everyone,

I’ve just completed Day 8 of my Unreal Engine 5 Gameplay Engineer journey.

Today I implemented my first Inventory System completely in C++.

Features implemented:

:white_check_mark: TArray Inventory
:white_check_mark: AddItem Function
:white_check_mark: Collectible Integration
:white_check_mark: Item Storage
:white_check_mark: Score System
:white_check_mark: Gameplay Programming in C++

Current functionality:

• Collect items
• Store items in an inventory
• Increase score
• Remove collectibles from the world
• Track inventory size

Example output:

Added Item: Coin
Inventory Size: 1
Score: 1

Added Item: Coin
Inventory Size: 2
Score: 2

Current project systems:

I’m building every gameplay system from scratch using Unreal Engine 5 and C++ while documenting my journey to become a Gameplay Engineer.

Any feedback, suggestions, or code review comments are welcome.

Thank you!
