To get the most out of this book

To get the most out of this book, it is strongly recommended to have a good understanding of Unreal Engine and its main features. Some experience with C++ programming will also be an advantage. A strong passion for gaming – in particular, gameplay logic – will help you a lot in understanding the most advanced topics.

Software/hardware covered in the book

Operating system requirements

Unreal Engine 5.4

Windows, macOS, or Linux

Visual Studio 2019 or 2022 and JetBrains Rider 2023+

As this book is focused on AI programming and not on graphics, you won’t need a high-spec computer to follow all the chapters. However, to properly run Unreal Engine, a good PC with a good graphics card is highly recommended.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
