Abstract

Ovaj rad započinje uvođenjem pojma video igara i upravitelja video igara te s njihovim upoznavanjem kroz povijest. Opisuje se arhitektura standardnog upravitelja igara, a kako se ona sastoji od mnogo različitih dijelova, svaki je dio opisan u kratkim crtama. Nakon toga navode se osnovni pojmovi objektno orijentiranog programiranja kako bi se lakše mogao pratiti ostatak rada. Nakon toga slijedi opis nekolicine oblikovnih obrazaca koji se često koriste u razvoju video igara. Najvažniji oblikovni obrasci za video igre su: Game loop, Update Method i Components. Potom slijedi upoznavanje s Unreal Engine-om, jednim od najpopularnijih komercijalnih upravitelja igara današnjice. Navodimo njegove osnovne elemente te se upoznajemo s vizualnim skriptnim jezikom pod nazivom Blueprint te s Unreal Engine-ovim aplikacijskim programskim sučeljem za rad s C++-om. Uvodimo pojam sustava za refleksiju Unreal Engine-a i objašnjavamo njegovu važnost. Na kraju rada opisujemo video igru pod nazivom Survival Wizardry, napravljenu u sklopu praktičnog dijela ovog rada, te kroz njezinu implementaciju upoznajemo još razne koncepte iz Unreal Engine-a.

Abstract (english)

This master thesis begins by introducing the concept of video games and game engines and introduces them through history. The architecture of the standard game engine is described, and since it consists of many different parts, each part is described in short lines. After that, the basic terms of object-oriented programming are stated so that the rest of this paper can be followed more easily. This is followed by a description of several design patterns that are often used in video game development. The most important design patterns for video games are: Game loop, Update Method and Components. Then, we are introduced to Unreal Engine, one of the most popular commercial game engines available at this time. We list its basic elements and get acquainted with the visual scripting language called Blueprint and with Unreal Engine’s application programming interface for working with C++. We introduce the concept of the Unreal Engine reflection system and explain its importance. At the end, we describe the video game named Survival Wizardry, made as a practical part of this master thesis, and through its implementation we get to know various other concepts from Unreal Engine.
