A third-person survival game sample project for Unreal Engine written entirely in C++, originally created as a tutorial series for Epic Games. It serves as an open-source learning resource demonstrating multiplayer, AI bots, and game framework patterns.

## Use cases
- learn unreal engine c++ programming
- study a multiplayer survival game implementation
- reference sample project for ue4 game development
- learn how to build ai bots in unreal engine
- example of c++ game framework patterns

## When to choose
- learning unreal engine c++ through a complete game example
- studying multiplayer and AI implementation in UE4
- following a structured tutorial-style codebase

## When to avoid
- needing modern Unreal Engine conventions and standards
- building a production game from scratch
- wanting up-to-date engine version support
