Unreal: Setup #

This tutorial can be run against either a new Unreal C++ project or a preexisting one. The examples in this tutorial use Unreal Engine 5.3.

SDKs are provided to ease integration between your game and Pragma Engine. This guide covers setting up and logging into the engine using the Unreal SDK.

Prerequisites:

  • Local copy of Pragma Engine cloned and running (a full setup guide is available via the GitHub README, which is accessible once onboarding has started)
  • JetBrains Rider (recommended editor for Unreal Editor)
  • Appropriate Visual Studio C++ compiler installed with the Game development with C++ option selected (See Unreal documentation for compatible versions)
