ToonTanks

This is a 3D game created in Unreal Engine 5 as part of the Unreal Engine 5 C++ Developer: Learn C++ & Make Video Games course. The game features a level with enemy towers shooting a player tank.

Here are some specific things I learned while making this game:

• Custom Pawn class for the Tank and Towers
• New Enhanced Input system usage for the player controller with custom input actions and input mapping context
• Gamepad support
• Tank movement using player input
• Projectiles spawning on Tank/Tower shooting
• Health, damage and destruction logic
• Simple HUD with start/end game messages
• Special effects: smoke, explosions
• Sounds on fire and destroy
• Camera shake effect
