Asteroid Shooter Project

In this project, I practiced more complicated ideas and functionality regarding coding in UE. The project is a complete game that has a randomized asteroid spawner, a scoring system, a health and damage system, and logic that makes the asteroids break apart and hit into smaller asteroids, complete with a player HUD UI and some bonus waves at the end.

Postmortem

At this point in my education, my knowledge of programming in UE was fairly limited; however, I took this project as a challenge to push my understanding as far as possible. Upon completing the game's core mechanics, I went into the project to add more features such as bonus rounds, which spawned more asteroids and gave more points for destroying larger ones. I learned the importance of taking techniques and other lessons learned in prior projects and implementing them in future projects. Practice makes perfect!
