Welcome to the SimpleBlueprintGame-UE4 wiki!

Overview

Project was created in 1 week as a challenge/test. It includes a variety of features that apply to many game types. No replication. The focus on this project was to display how to properly build different types of systems. Nothing is perfect, but it's a great example for those looking to increase their blueprint skills. I use a modular design, data-driven systems, organized file structure, event dispatchers, and made use of blueprint Macro/Function libraries.

Features

Main Menu

Includes the ability to quit and play the game. It also lists all your high scores.
