## What it is
Project Orion is a co-op action roguelike sample game built in C++ for Unreal Engine 5, serving as the companion project for a professional game development course. It showcases advanced gameplay systems such as a custom Action System (abilities, buffs, attributes), multiplayer networking, and experimental data-oriented projectile design.

## Use cases
- learn Unreal Engine C++ game development
- study a multiplayer co-op game implementation in UE5
- see how to build an ability system similar to Gameplay Ability System
- reference a complete roguelike game codebase in C++
- learn save game systems and game AI in Unreal Engine
- explore data-oriented design for projectiles in UE5

## When to choose
- you are taking or teaching an Unreal Engine C++ course and want reference code
- you want a well-documented, feature-rich UE5 C++ sample game to learn from
- you need examples of multiplayer networking, abilities, or AI in Unreal Engine

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready game engine or framework to build on
- you want a finished shippable game rather than a learning sample
- you need a permissively licensed codebase - the repository has no license

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, game, simulation
- domain: gaming-tools, tutorials
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cpp
