Important Notes

  1. Read the submission instructions carefully!

Table of Contents

For your 4-credit project you have two options:

  1. Create a short tutorial on some aspect of using Unreal Engine. This should be in the form of a short video, about 5 to 10 minutes long. It can be on any feature of Unreal. It can be on a topic covered iun class, but it should not simply repeat information already provided in class. In particular, topics in the following categories would good choices:
    • Using AI in Unreal
    • Physics in Unreal
    • Animation in Unreal
    • Developing with C++ in Unreal
  2. A project you propose on anything game-related. This should have roughly the same level of complexity and effort at MP1.

Proposing a Topic

Please propose a topic using a CampusWire post to instructors and TAs with the subject 4 Credit Assignment. Just very, very briefly list your tutorial topic or alternate proposal. Please do this by April 20th at the latest.

Submission

On Canvas, please submit a zipped folder the following:

  • Any slides used in the tutorial (or a link to them). I you don’t use slides, submit a transcript of your talk.
  • A video file of your tutorial (in mp4 format) or link to the video.
  • Any example code or project used in the tutorial…or a link to them.

If you do a non-tutorial project, submit those materials in the zipped folder.

For this assignment ignore the submission instructions in the next section

Submission Instructions

Hand-in will be done on Canvas. You will be expected to upload the following:

  1. A link to a git repo or drive/box folder containing your project code. It should be possible to build your game in Unreal using the submitted code.
  2. A short video up to 10 minutes long (can be much shorter) showing your game and demonstrating all the required features. Your video ideally should be a screen capture with brief narration by you pointing out the features as they appear in the game.

Some good options for video capture software are:

If recording narration is problematic (e.g. you lack a microphone) you can skip that part. Please only resort to capturing video using your phone if you have tried one of the above methods and just could not get it to work.

On Canvas you should put the link to your code in the Comment box and then upload a video file using the Upload Media tab.
