Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: ”These lines of code represent the declarations of the Tick() and BeginPlay() functions that are included in every Actor-based class by default.”

A block of code is set as follows:

// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void APlayerProjectile::BeginPlay()
{
  Super::BeginPlay();
}
// Called every frame
void APlayerProjectile::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
  Super::Tick(DeltaTime);
}

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “From the Open Level dialog box, navigate to /ThirdPersonCPP/Maps to find SideScrollerExampleMap.”
