Unreal Engine 5 Gameplay Programming: Build Interactive Systems with Modern C++

This book takes a production-focused approach to UE5 and modern C++, showing you how to architect scalable gameplay systems, structure clean codebases, implement advanced mechanics, and build projects that can realistically move beyond prototype stage.Inside this book, you'll learn how to: - Build gameplay systems using professional UE5 C++ workflows- Understand the Gameplay Framework, reflection system, modules, and memory management- Design scalable architectures with Actors, Components, Interfaces, Delegates, and Subsystems- Create advanced movement systems, animation logic, and responsive character controllers- Master the Gameplay Ability System (GAS) for combat, abilities, attributes, and effects- Build AI with Behaviour Trees, EQS, AI Perception, and State Trees- Implement Chaos Physics, collision systems, traces, and hit detection- Develop multiplayer-ready systems with replication, RPCs, and client prediction- Create polished UI, HUDs, feedback systems, and save/load pipelines- Optimize CPU, GPU, memory, and rendering performance using Unreal Insights and profiling tools- Package, automate, and prepare UE5 projects for production and shippingAlong the way, you'll build/create: - A production-ready gameplay architecture built around modular UE5 systems- Complete combat abilities including melee attacks, projectiles, and persistent buffs- Advanced AI enemies with patrol, investigation, engagement, and retreat behaviors- Custom traversal systems including wall running and climbing- Multiplayer gameplay systems with replication-aware design- Fully functional HUD, interaction, save/load, and event-driven gameplay systems- Reusable gameplay programming patterns used in professional UE5 developmentThis book is written for developers who already understand programming fundamentals and want to master Unreal Engine 5 at a deeper level.Whether you are transitioning from Blueprints to C++, moving from Unity or Godot, building an indie game, or preparing for professional gameplay programming roles, this guide provides the architectural understanding and production-oriented workflows that most UE5 books and tutorials never cover.
