====== Introduction ======

This page is dedicated to lectures UDK Game Development held at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague in winter semester 2011/2012. 

Basic info about how to start developing in UDK can be found here: [[guidelines:udk development tutorial|UDK Development Tutorial]].

You can contact me with any questions at michal [dot] bida [at] gmail [dot] com. Subject: UDK Game Development.

====== Lecture 2 (25.11.2011) ======

Basic characters and animations, UnrealScript basics. Download [[http://pogamut.cuni.cz/pogamut_files/lectures/2011-2012-UDK-Devel/udnmodels.zip|udn models source data]] that we will import into UDK.

**Code sample 1:**
<code>
	HUDType=class'UDKMod.MyHUD'
	PlayerControllerClass=class'UDKMod.MyPlayerController'
	ConsolePlayerControllerClass=class'UTGame.UTConsolePlayerController'
	DefaultPawnClass=class'UTPawn'
	PlayerReplicationInfoClass=class'UTGame.UTPlayerReplicationInfo'
	GameReplicationInfoClass=class'UTGame.UTGameReplicationInfo'
	DeathMessageClass=class'UTDeathMessage'
	PopulationManagerClass=class'UTPopulationManager'
	BotClass=class'UTBot'
</code>

**Code sample 2:**
<code>
   //Setup default NPC mesh
   Begin Object Class=SkeletalMeshComponent Name=NPCMesh0
	  SkeletalMesh=SkeletalMesh'RocketBoxMalesExtended.SkelMesh.casual04_m_highpoly'
	  AnimSets(0)=AnimSet'RocketBoxMaleAnims.RocketBoxMaleAnims'
	  AnimSets(1)=AnimSet'PogamutCharactersAnims.PogamutMaleForRocketBox'
	  LightEnvironment=MyLightEnvironment 
      AnimtreeTemplate=AnimTree'RocketBoxMalesExtended.AT_RocketBox_Scripted'
   End Object
   NPCMesh=NPCMesh0
   Mesh=NPCMesh0
   Components.Add(NPCMesh0)
</code>

**Code sample 3:**
<code>
	Begin Object Class=StaticMeshComponent Name=PathMarkerComponent
		bUsePrecomputedShadows=false
		bAcceptsStaticDecals=false
		StaticMesh=StaticMesh'UN_SimpleMeshes.TexPropCube_Dup'
		WireframeColor=(R=255,G=0,B=0,A=0) 
		bDisableAllRigidBody=true
		CastShadow=false
		bCastDynamicShadow=false
		bSelfShadowOnly=true
		bAcceptsLights=true
		bAcceptsDynamicLights=true
		bAcceptsDynamicDominantLightShadows=true
	End Object
	StaticMeshComponent=PathMarkerComponent
	Components.Remove(StaticMeshComponent0)
	Components.Add(PathMarkerComponent)

	Begin Object Class=CylinderComponent NAME=CollisionCylinder
		CollisionRadius=+00030.000000
		CollisionHeight=+00020.000000
		CollideActors=true
	End Object
	CollisionComponent=CollisionCylinder
	Components.Add(CollisionCylinder)
	
	DrawScale=0.03
	bStatic=false
	bCollideActors=true

====== Lecture 1 (11.11.2011) ======

UDK introduction and some basic examples. [[http://pogamut.cuni.cz/pogamut_files/lectures/2011-2012-UDK-Devel/UDKGameDevelopment2011Lecture01.ppt|Slides]] from the lecture.

===== Homework =====

Install UDK on your laptop according the [[guidelines:udk development tutorial|UDK Development Tutorial]]. Then compile and run example 2 (either install Visual Studio with nFringe or compile it manually).

===== Example 1 =====
Several examples of simple map levels featuring some Kismet mechanics. To install it, [[http://pogamut.cuni.cz/pogamut_files/lectures/2011-2012-UDK-Devel/UDKExamples.zip|download it]] and unzip it in ''UDK/UDKGame/Content'' directory. Features: 
  * Several different map levels
  * Simple triggers 
  * Complex triggers 

===== Example 2 =====
A simple working mod that features several simple game mechanics. To install it, [[http://pogamut.cuni.cz/pogamut_files/lectures/2011-2012-UDK-Devel/UDKMod.zip|download it]] and unzip it in ''UDK/Development/Src'' directory. Features: 
  * Creating custom game
  * Setting custom HUD 
  * Implementing dynamic reactions in the environment 
  * Reacting to key inputs 
  * Drawing information on HUD

Note: You need to recompile UDK for this to work (with proper settings - so the UDK knows it should compile this mod as well)! See [[guidelines:udk development tutorial|UDK Development Tutorial]]. Afterwards, run the game by typing:
"udk DM-Deck?game=UDKMod.MyGame" from ''UDK/Binaries/Win32'' directory . ALT + H displays HUD help. ALT + C creates "PacMan" cubes.
