In this project, I tried to explore deeper into C++ usecase in an Unreal Engine project. I made components, pawns, game mode, controller and features in the C++ and learned how to exploit the power of scripting and handling some connections and definitions in Blueprints as well. I also learned about the timers, particles system and some basics of HUD widgets.

• Count down timer in the game start up
• Player takes control of the tank pawn
• Shooting projectile functionality for the pawns in the game
• Developed a very basic AI for the Towers to shoot the tank
• Health Component for the pawns to keep track of damages taken
• A game over screen and function (Victory or Loss)
• Binding my scripted functions to some predefined functions such as OnComponentHit and OnTakeAnyDamage

Some features that I am planning to implement and add to the game before publishing are as follows:

• Developing a more advanced enemy system (Improving their AI, Adding tanks as enemies as well as towers)
• Add a menu with settings to the game
• Power up pick ups or level up system
• Make the Tanks Movement shake the camera slightly to give a sense of accelaration and motion to the user (Currently it seems like the player is controlling the tank on a drone above the tank that just shakes from the explosions)
• Add a text system to tell a little story about the game to make it a more immersive experience
• Add music to the game
• Develop a more complex Level with more details and enemies
