To get the most out of this book

You will need a version of Unreal Engine 5 installed on your computer. All code examples have been tested on Unreal Engine 5.0.3, and they should work with later versions of the Engine. However, this may not be the case if Epic Games makes any major changes to the core engine.

Software/hardware covered in the book	Operating system requirements
Unreal Engine 5	Windows
Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider	Windows

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.

We’ve included commented versions of the code found within the book as part of the GitHub repository, as opposed to including comments in the code samples, making the code easier to read and follow within the book.
