Project Title: Turn-Based Strategy Game using Unreal Engine (C++)

Project Summary
This project is a tactical Turn-Based Strategy (TBS) Game developed using Unreal Engine and C++, where players control units on a grid-based battlefield. Each side takes turns to move units, attack enemies, and use special abilities. Strategic planning, unit positioning, and resource management are key gameplay elements.

Core Components

Grid-Based Movement System

• The game world is built on a tile/grid system.
• Units can move a fixed number of tiles per turn.
• Pathfinding (e.g., A*) is implemented in C++ to find valid moves.

Turn Management System

• Handles turn order between players or teams (player vs AI or player vs player).
• Controls when actions like moving, attacking, and using abilities are allowed.

Unit System

• Each unit has attributes like health, attack range, movement range, and special skills.
• Unit classes are implemented using inheritance in C++ for scalability.

Combat System

• Calculates hit chances, critical strikes, and damage dealt.
• Includes animations and health reduction effects triggered via C++ logic.

AI Opponent (Optional)

• AI-controlled units use decision-making logic to choose optimal moves and attacks.
• Implements basic strategy (e.g., flanking, focusing on weak units).

User Interface (UI)

• Displays unit stats, action menus, health bars, and minimap.
• Built using Unreal's UMG and controlled via C++.

Camera System

• Supports top-down or isometric views.
• Allows zoom, rotate, and pan functionality.

Technologies Used

• Unreal Engine 5
• C++ (with Unreal APIs: AActor, USTRUCT, TArray, etc.)
• UMG (for game interface)
• Blueprints (optional, for visual scripting or animation triggering)
• NavMesh (optional, if not using grid-based logic only)

Learning Outcomes

• Deep understanding of turn-based game mechanics
• Mastery of grid-based logic and pathfinding in C++
• Object-oriented programming for scalable unit systems
• UI development with UMG and gameplay data integration
• Game loop management and event-driven design

Possible Enhancements

• Add multiplayer (hotseat or online) support
• Include terrain effects (cover, elevation, obstacles)
• Implement a storyline or campaign mode
• Add experience system and unit upgrades
• Build a map editor tool for creating custom levels
