Experiences

Newcastle University

In June 2015 and July 2015, I was doing an internship at Newcastle University. There, I learned about two game engines: Construct 2 and Unreal Engine 4.

​

My first assignment was to make a game in Construct 2. It was an engine for creating 2D games. It did not require programming skills, but linking statements to create events. I learned how to make the player character animate when they are idling, running back and forth, or launching projectiles. I also linked events for losing health, for example when the player character touches an enemy, it loses health. Also, when an enemy collides with the player's projectile, both the projectile and the enemy get destroyed.

​

After that, I was asked to make a project using Unreal Engine 4. I created a platforming game to learn more about the game engine. Although it has programming using C++, it also had blueprints which it linking statements and functions to create events, just like Construct 2.
