Creating and Setting Up a Blank C++ Project

At the start of every project, you might want to start with any of the templates provided by Epic (which contain ready-to-execute basic code) and build on top of that. Most/some of the time, you might need to set up a blank or an empty project that you can mold and sculpt to your requirements. We'll learn how to do that in the following exercise.

Exercise 2.01: Creating an Empty C++ Project

In this exercise, you will learn how to create an empty C++ project from the template provided by Epic. This will serve as the foundation for many of your future C++ projects.

The following steps will help you complete this exercise:

1. Launch Unreal Engine 4.24 from the Epic Games Launcher.
2. Click on the Games section and click Next.
3. Make sure the Blank project template is selected and click Next.
4. Click the Blueprint section dropdown and select C++.

   Note

   Make sure the project folder and project name are specified...
