There are 4 modules in this course

This module introduces learners to the foundational elements of building a Pinball game using Unreal Engine and Blueprint scripting. From setting up the development environment to implementing core gameplay elements like physics-based ball mechanics and bumpers, students will gain practical knowledge in level setup, object behavior, and visual feedback systems. Emphasis is placed on visual scripting, reusable logic structures, and interactive component creation that lay the groundwork for more advanced game development techniques in later modules.

This module guides learners through the design and integration of interactive components within the pinball game, focusing on audio-visual feedback, mechanical flipper systems, and player input logic. Learners will build dynamic bumpers with responsive sounds and materials, implement flippers using precise rotational mechanics, and connect gameplay elements to customized player input through Blueprint scripting. The module reinforces hands-on control flow and user interaction principles within Unreal Engine.

This module focuses on implementing key gameplay mechanics that define progression and player feedback in a pinball game. Learners will design and control the plunger for ball launching, manage the lifecycle of the ball with spawn and respawn logic, and develop scoring mechanisms that include point triggers, score tracking, and dynamic display of player stats. Through hands-on Blueprint scripting, learners will gain experience in managing gameplay state, player performance evaluation, and interactive score systems.
