Intermediate Object-Oriented Programming for Unreal Games (Coursera)

Throughout this course you'll build on your foundational C# and Unity knowledge by developing more robust games with better object-oriented designs using file input and output, inheritance and polymorphism, and event handling.
This course gives you even more tools to help you build great games with C++ and Unreal!
Module 1: Start using files to implement your Unity games
Module 2: Learn how inheritance and polymorphism help us write less code for our games
Module 3: Implement event handling to make better object-oriented designs and add menus to your Unreal games
Module 4: Explore the complete implementation of a small Unreal game
Course 4 of 4 in the C++ Programming for Unreal Game Development Specialization.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Exceptions and File IO
In this module, you'll learn how exceptions are thrown when something bad happens as our program executes and how to handle those exceptions. You'll also learn about file IO, which is incredibly useful both in console apps and in Unreal games.

WEEK 2
Inheritance and Polymorphism
In this module, you'll learn about inheritance and polymorphism, two of the most powerful features in object-oriented programming languages, including C++. You'll also see inheritance in action in a small Unreal game.

WEEK 3
Event Handling and Menus
In this module, you'll learn how to use events and event handling in your game. Developing our games this way leads to much better object-oriented designs, where objects don't have to know about lots of other objects in the game. You'll also learn how to use Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG) and Slate Widgets to implement menus in your games.

WEEK 4
Feed the Teddies
In this module, we'll go through the implementation details of a complete (small) game. You'll see many of the concepts we covered in this course (and previous courses in the Specialization as well) in action, and you'll see a few new things as well.
