There are 4 modules in this course

In this module, learners will explore the foundational steps of developing a Pacman 3D game in Unreal Engine 4. They will begin by setting up the project environment, organizing assets, and incorporating free resources from the Unreal Marketplace. The lessons then progress to designing static meshes, experimenting with geometry, creating maze structures, and adding essential lighting. Finally, learners will work with materials and apply them to the level, ensuring the maze is both functional and visually engaging. By the end of this module, students will have established a fully constructed Pacman 3D maze environment that serves as the backbone for gameplay.
