Video game development in Unreal Engine tools

U ovom radu opisali smo osnovne koncepte Unreal Engine-a uz koje možemo započeti rad na novom projektu. Uz ove koncepte i daljnjim proširivanjem znanja proučavanjem alata kroz službenu dokumentaciju moguće je napraviti tehnološki kompleksne projekte koje ne bismo bili u mogućnosti napraviti bez Unreal Engine alata ili bilo kojeg drugog pokretača igara. Za potrebe ovog diplomskog rada napravljena je video igra u UE alatima čiji smo žanr, pravila, strukturu programa i klase opisali u radu. Također smo se upoznali s dizajnom server-klijent aplikacije i detaljnije opisali način na koji funkcioniraju i komuniciraju međusobno sudionici. Koristeći boost biblioteku i moderni C++17 standard implementirali smo asinkroni server i definirali poruke za komunikaciju. Za potrebe razmjenjivanja složenijih struktura podataka preko mreže koristeći poruke implementirali smo i detaljno opisali naš JSON parser.In this master thesis we elaborated the basic concepts of Unreal Engine with which we can start working on a new project. With those concepts and further expanding knowledge by reading official documentation, it is possible to create technologically complex projects that we would not be able to do so without Unreal Engine tool or any other tool for game launching. For the purposes of this thesis, the video game was made in UE tools. Its genre, rules and program structure are described in the paper. Also, the design of the server-client application is introduced. The way participants function and communicate with each other is described in detail. Using the boost library and the modern C ++ 17 standard, we have implemented an asynchronous server and defined messages for communication. For the purpose of exchanging more complex data structures over the network using messages, we have implemented and described in detail our JSON parser
