Programming with C++

Information for programmers developing with Unreal Engine.

On this page

Unreal Engine provides multiple toolsets for Programmers, Designers, and Artists that accelerate development workflows. You can:

  • Use the Gameplay Architecture to build your projects in Unreal Engine. The Gameplay Framework provides a hierarchy of Objects and Actors. These classes contain boilerplate variables and functions you can use when creating and designing interactive experiences.

  • Delegates call member functions on C++ objects in a generic, type-safe way. You can dynamically bind a delegate to a member function of an arbitrary object, calling the function on the object at a future time, even if the caller does not know the object`s type.
