UnrealEngine VS Signup

Visual Studio has a related annoying habit when navigating the call stack (the caller's scope is considered closed if the callee is syntactically its tail) so I wonder whether this workaround would be useful for it as well.

See also this comment in the Unreal Engine code about putting a nop in before as well: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/26677ca1b3c97...

    // Q: Why is there a __nop() before __debugbreak()?

> you can still use it with smart pointers provided by any other library

Is the point of having a kitchen-sink library like this not that you dont have to reach for a 3rdparty library for things that you need 'all the time'?

Certainly, not everyone needs it.

...but, not everyone needs threads either. Not everyone needs an http server; and yet, if you have an application framework that provides them, when you do need them, it saves you reaching for yet-another-dependency.

Was that no the point from the beginning?

unique_ptr is a fundamental primitive for many, as you see from some other frameworks (1), and implementation is not always either a) trivial, or b) as simple as 'just use std::unique_ptr'.

This does seem like a very opinionated decision with reasonably unclear justification.

It is not publicly available. If you click on this link you get a 404 page: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine You actually have to go and subscribe, agree to their terms, and then you get to view the source code. It happens to be free, but it is by no means "public".

Like I said before, you have the fixed code here (commit: 23937975).

Before you can access the repository at https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine, you must: be an Unreal Engine subscriber. have a GitHub account. have associated your GitHub account with your Unreal Engine account as described on the UE4 on GitHub page.

What you need to do is follow this link and diff my file with Epic's file. You can grab settings that I have from mine and plop them into a custom one for yours. Just be mindful if you're developing in VR for what settings you bring over.

Originally it was going to be NetworkPrediction (need to be signed into a github account with Unreal Engine access for that link to work), but since David Ratti left Epic that died and they stopped working on it. (I didn't know it was dead, that was the CMC replacement I was referring to)

Found this while looking through UE commits

Also, don't be like this person

Unity, the platform that powered our game, recently implemented policy changes and they seem to have an ethical stance that doesn't sit well with us. We will not use Unity in the future unless we need to update the most recent version, which, mostly is untested. As of now. We're uncertain about whether we'll explore alternative engines such as Godot or Unreal. The absence of recent development activities coupled with the prospect of mastering a new engine introduces a considerable challenge, making the pursuit of game development feel more distant. We're currently in the process of deciding whether we want to continue along this path of game development, but we want to encourage all indie developers!

P.S I found these cool new engines: https://godotengine.org/, https://www.unrealengine.com/

The unreal engine code is literally on GitHub, although open-source usually refers to the licensing in which case unreal is not open source.

Many popular game engines use this tiered approach including Unity, Unreal Engine, and Game Maker. However, many free and open-source software engines are released under the permissive MIT license.

It depends on your needs and preferences, but popular game engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, GameMaker Studio 2, and even newer engines like Yahaha, all have their own strengths and weaknesses that should be evaluated based on the specific requirements of your project. For example, Unity and Unreal are great choices for 3D games due to their powerful graphics engines and great scripting capabilities, while Yahaha offers great functionality for people with little coding knowledge. I believe the best game engine for you will depend on your project requirements and personal preferences, and the factors I stated above. Whichever engine you choose, make sure to do your research on the features and capabilities that it offers.

There are several ways we can do this, and having a good understanding of the different game engines available is key. For example, GameMaker, Unity or Unreal Engine are popular choices for creating single-player games, while CryEngine, AppGameKit and even newer engines like Yahaha are great choices for MMORPGs. Each engine has its own strengths and weaknesses, so it's important to choose the right one for your game.
