My Unreal Engine C++ Learning Journey | Days 1-3 Progress

Development Programming & Scripting C++
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently learning Unreal Engine with a strong focus on C++ programming and engine systems.

During Days 1-3, I successfully:

  • Created a custom C++ project.
  • Set up my own character class.
  • Learned how Unreal’s input system works.
  • Configured Enhanced Input.
  • Implemented player movement entirely in C++.
  • Solved several issues related to Input Mapping Contexts and Input Actions.
  • Achieved full WASD movement (forward, backward, left, and right).

This video shows my progress so far and the challenges I overcame while building the project.

My goal is to become a Rendering/Engine Systems Engineer and Unreal Engine developer, so I’m documenting my learning journey from the very beginning.

Any feedback is welcome!
