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!
