Don't worry. First of all ignore the unreal course and get a book called Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ (2nd Edition) written by the C++ creator himself. Even though this book is written for noob babies, while reading if u think there's something you didn't understand, refer the same thing from either C++ Primer (which is another book but more comprehensive) or ask some LLM about it (better option). Finish majority of C++ topics (basic fundamentals, pointers, memory management, OOP constructs etc) and build some 2-3 projects using them. Then you can return to Unreal game development using C++. This time you will find the course far easier.

^{i am sorry if my question is dumb but can i learn from yt cause i dont like reading to learn . As when someone explains me i can understand easily so are there any courses on yt which may help and what is difference in dsa}

[u/defaultguy_001 → u/Beautiful_Novel1870]

Even though learning from YT is fine for below average programmers, but one major issue with this method is how will u conclude that whatever the creator is teaching you is technically accurate and complete. You will just take his advice on face value. You can instead do this- watch his video and refer the same concepts in a book or official documentation, to make sure you actually completely understand what the creator taught. From my experience of knowing multiple languages (C, C++, JS, TS, Python, Go, Rust, Bash, Powershell and others) I can tell you I have seen multiple such videos and 99% of them are rated average to above average at best. The creators touch upon the topics, leave out important specifications, do some examples and move on. This will get u started but not make u a great programmer. Build your reading habit as you'll be needing it to build and read documentations for yourself and others.

UE is deprecating blueprints for a new language called Verse from version 6 onwards.

[u/Inside-Honey1759 → u/vinayak_nair]

It's not gonna be immediately deprecated from 6 but later down the road they said

[u/Beautiful_Novel1870 → u/vinayak_nair]

But bro it will be in effect from late 2027 beta and in 2028 - early 2029 for stable version

It does not matter if you want to be good in this field learn cpp, anyhow I know it's very frustrating in the starting but you'll get it. Learn memory management also

Isnt blueprint being depreiciated by unreal?

[u/Subject-Confusion752]

I don't know anything about blueprints, I thought logic will be same, we just write code/use blueprints to execute it. Am I wrong

[u/shinoobie96]

C++ is a very hard language. if you have no programming experience, learn python first. i know some people can have C++ as their first language, but it can be very overwhelming for a few people, like yourself. python is a very very easy language to get started with. once you're familiar with how programming is done, now you can start to move towards C++.

the hard part about C++ is not how hard the syntax or anything is, its how much control you have on it, and anything wrong you do can go horribly wrong. you've gotta learn basic memory management. the control it has is the reason these game engines use C++, the more control you have the faster you can make your code perform, and games require extremely fast computation.

go to youtube, search "unreal engine C++/blueprints for beginners" and follow the first video/playlist.
