Project Title: VR Puzzle Game using Unreal Engine (C++)

Project Summary
This project is a Virtual Reality (VR) Puzzle Game developed using Unreal Engine and C++, designed to provide an immersive experience where players interact with 3D puzzles using motion controllers. It challenges players’ logic, memory, and spatial awareness in a fully interactive VR environment.

Core Components

VR Interaction System

• Built using Unreal’s VR Template and enhanced with C++ code.
• Supports hand tracking, object grabbing, rotation, and manipulation with motion controllers.

Puzzle Mechanics

• Multiple puzzles such as pattern matching, object alignment, code-breaking, or physics-based tasks.
• Puzzles are modular and scalable with reusable C++ classes.

Player Controller and Movement

• VR locomotion system including teleportation or smooth movement.
• Custom input mappings for interacting with puzzle elements.

Feedback System

• Audio-visual feedback for puzzle success or failure.
• Uses sound cues, particle effects, and haptic vibration.

Environment Design

• Multiple themed rooms or areas (e.g., sci-fi lab, ancient temple).
• Lighting, ambient sound, and design elements to enhance immersion.

Progression and Scoring

• Track time taken to solve each puzzle.
• Unlock new puzzle rooms upon completing challenges.

Save System

Save player progress and unlocked levels using C++ and Unreal’s SaveGame system.

Technologies Used

• Unreal Engine 5
• C++ (with Unreal API: AActor, UFUNCTION, UPROPERTY, etc.)
• OpenXR / SteamVR for VR support
• UMG for menus and HUD (if needed)
• Blueprints (for quick interaction prototyping, combined with C++)

Learning Outcomes

• Proficiency in C++ for VR gameplay programming
• Experience with interactive object mechanics in 3D space
• Understanding of VR best practices (comfort, UX, interaction)
• Modular puzzle system design
• Integration of immersive sound, visuals, and feedback

Possible Enhancements

• Add multiplayer VR puzzle mode (co-op solving)
• Include voice-controlled puzzle mechanics
• Use AI for hint or assist system
• Expand to mobile VR platforms (like Meta Quest)
• Add a storyline or narrative-driven progression
