Build a
Nuclear Throne
Shooter in Unreal
Learn C++ and Unreal Engine 5 from scratch, Actors, Enhanced Input, AI, collision, waves, HUD, and more. Watch your game come alive step by step. It is a big one, so it is built in two halves: Part 1 (steps 1-13) gets you a playable shooter, then an optional Part 2 (steps 14-25) adds the advanced systems. Stop at the checkpoint any time.
Before you start: this whole episode runs right here in your browser, so there is nothing to install and it works on a school computer. When you are ready to build it for real, Unreal Engine 5 is free but a big install (around 30 GB) that wants a strong PC with a dedicated GPU, so a grown-up should help at home. New to the series? Start at Episode 1: Blueprint Basics. Finish every step and your badge shows up in My Progress.
