Introducing the Command Design Pattern in Unreal Engine 4
This video provides an introduction to the Command Design Pattern, which is a classic in object-oriented software development. The example is inspired by a project from my game production class: a shop that sells items to adventurers. I explain in the video how the "Undo" operation is a great motivation to migrate an existing design toward the Command pattern. This is done in Blueprint, and at the end, I also show how I would accomplish the same thing in C++.
This video is sponsored in part by an Epic MegaGrant, and I am grateful for the support.
