Where should I start if I want to start learning unreal? (I've been struggling with C++)

Development Getting Started & Setup

Hi Guys,

I recently bought a few Unreal courses on Udemy, I bought one of the more popular Unreal C++ Beginner courses but I’m struggling to fully understand it. I guess what I’m asking is should I try a different C++ course right away? or should I start somewhere else such as the open world design and texturing? and Where did you start?

Any feedback is appreciated!.

Thank you!

Hey @LuXiD_Funman13x3 and welcome to the community! If you’ve never done any programming to begin with, C++ can be daunting. It’s even more daunting being the first step into unreal and trying to learn C++.

Tutorials can be a great way to make something tangible while learning a bit about it, but it definitely more dependent on how you learn. I personally sat down (back when Unreal Engine 4 was still only free for schools) and just took apart each of the example games they had and reverse engineered toys together until I got competent. However I started with Blueprints, as they are much easier to digest for nonprogrammers to start. After that moving on to learning C++ was largely the same, more tutorials, and lots of learning resources here to help you get rolling.

If this is your first ever foray into unreal, I wouldn’t drop the courses you’d paid for just yet, but I do recommend following a couple of the tutorials in our Getting Started area, as they can get you up to speed with the engine and blueprints before you deep dive into the complexities of C++. Don’t be discouraged, this discipline is one of the hardest to get started in, but know we’re here to help whenever!

Hi I would like to know if I can create a game with unreal engine 5 with this

Procesor
Intel Core i5 cores 4 ×
IntelTiger Lake (11. generation)
i5 11300H Tiger Lake
Frekvenction,1 GHz (3 100 MHz)
Core Boost Frekvencia4,4 GHz (4 400 MHz)

Graphic kard
Memory 4 GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050

Operation memory
16 GB
DDR4
3 200 MHz (3,2 GHz)

the game is not open world. the whole story of the game takes place in one house with one street and a couple of other houses

thank you very much for any advice, have a nice day and lots of game ideas

You may be a little short on RAM, UE5 is greedy on the subject, the iCore 5 is a 4/8 thread or a 4/4 thread?

Hi, thanks you

This Core have 4/8

Yes, for the CPU, it should be fine, learn C++, it’s not easy, but the language is humanized in these last versions
