It’s a positive feedback cycle.” – Linus Torvalds (developer of the Linux kernel) Linux is everywhere. It powers the Internet as the main operating system behind the Web’s servers, it powers spacecraft, it’s the operating system for the Fastest supercomputers in the world and it’s used in smart TVs and mobile devices. Why? Because it’s ultra stable, lightning fast and completely free of charge. However, there’s more to Linux than simply being a Free to use operating system. Its unique configuration allows the user to customise and personalise the OS into any form they wish. A Linux user can change their OS look and feel From one day to the next, install thousands of Freely available apps and programs and take back control of their computer. Linux is about Freedom. Freedom From the walled-garden approach of other restrictive operating systems, freedom to choose what you want on your computer, Freedom to alter it and use it how you please. It’s a worldwide community of like-minded users, all striving to get the best development from this incredible OS. With this book, you too can become a part of the open community of Linux users. The tutorials within these pages will help you get to grips with Linux, show you how it works, what you can do with it and how you can code with it to take your Linux experience to even greater heights.

Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) is a powerful C++ engine with a range of features used to create exciting games by AAA studios, which makes it an engaging way to get started with exploring C++17. This book starts by helping you install a code editor so you can begin to write C++17 code. You will then focus on C++ fundamentals such as variables, memory, conditional statements, and looping. Next, you will cover important programming constructs including functions, objects, classes, and inheritance. As you progress, you’ll delve into more advanced C++17 concepts, along with understanding the functionality of the UE4 engine. In the next few chapters, you will use the UE4 editor to create your own virtual world, and even program some seriously fun gameplay. After this, you’ll learn to build game features, along with using AI aspects such as pathfinding and behavior trees to build smart game entities. The concluding chapters will show you how to improve user interface (UI) feedback with Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG) and audio. In this new and updated edition, you’ll also get to grips with the latest VR and AR features available. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to program effectively in C++17. What you will learn Learn the basics of C++ and understand basic UE4 editing Work with the UE4 editor and study the basics of using C++ and Blueprints within the engine Get up to speed with using basic C++ containers and data structures to store your game data Create players, non-player characters (NPCs), and monsters Give game information to users using the UE4 UMG UI system Gain a basic understanding of how to use procedural programming to give your game more replay value Discover how UE4 can help you build projects using the latest technologies, such as VR and AR
