Mobile Game Programming Using Unreal Engine

Set up a mobile endless runner in Unreal Engine using the third-person template, import a custom skeletal character, and organize folders for materials, textures, and blueprints while configuring movable lighting.

Retarget animations from a mannequin to an Unreal Engine character by building an animation blueprint, mapping bones, and adjusting materials (base color, metallic, roughness, opacity, normal map) for visibility.

Master camera and blueprint setup for a mobile endless runner in Unreal Engine, including a custom running animation and a ground tile system with road and sidewalk materials.

Spawn endless ground tiles using blueprints by detecting player overlap with a box collision and spawning new tiles from the game mode. Manage transforms, delays, and cleanup to maintain performance.

Implement three-lane switching in an endless runner by placing arrow components in lanes, binding left and right keys to lane changes, and using a timeline to interpolate player between lanes.

Add a down action mapping and apply a downward impulse to the character's movement, enabling jumps to end quickly via a negative z impulse.

Implement touch gestures and swipe controls in Unreal Engine by adding a touch action, tracking finger input as 2D vectors, and wiring movement and lane changes for an endless runner.

Create dynamic obstacle spawning in Unreal Engine by building a ground tile blueprint that uses switch on integer, spawn actors from class, and random floats to control spawn probability.

Increase the player's speed progressively by multiplying the max walk speed whenever the player overlaps the component box, using a speed multiplication factor and a max speed cap.

Create an integer current points variable in the third person game mode, initialize it to zero, increment on each box overlap, and print the current points for debugging.

Learn to implement ragdoll death by creating physics assets, enabling mesh physics, and triggering death through overlaps, while disabling movement for a believable third-person character.

Add coin pickups to your endless runner, incrementing a coin counter on overlap, and manage spawning with blueprints, overlap handling, and a pickup sound.

Boost your jump by adding a pizza-themed jump boost power up in unreal engine, duplicating and updating a blueprint, adjusting jump velocity, and resetting after a delay.

Design and bind a dynamic heads-up display in Unreal Engine, showing points and coins, and implement a game over screen with a save game high-score system.

Set up a pause button in the heads up display, connect it to a pause screen with continue or exit to the main menu, and configure startup main menu level.

Implement android and Iris integration, adapt the game viewport for portrait phones, adjust the heads up display and camera settings, and package your Unreal Engine project for Android deployment.
