The document outlines the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), a system for developing games across platforms like Xbox, PS3, and PC, emphasizing its ability to streamline the game development process. UDK allows users to leverage pre-built components like graphics and physics engines, enhancing efficiency during game creation. It also highlights the importance of iterative development and includes references to programming with Unreal Script.

1. THE UNREAL TECHNOLOGY THE UNREAL DEVELOPMENT KIT

2. Xbox, PS3, PC Physically Game Engine Unreal Engine

3. WHY TO USE UDK? You don't have to start from scratch Just tweak the engine behavior Stuff will be finished fast

4. WHAT'S UDK? A system that assets your characters, weapons, sounds, props, etc. Into a visual interactive form.

5. Engine Components Graphics Engine Sound Engine Physics Engine Input Manager Network Infrastructure

6. HOW DOES IT WORK? CORE

7. Initialize components Ready for user Input Load maps Assets routing Sending info to core Game loop starts Game Initialization Game Launch Game Play

8. CREATING WORLDS Game Assets All data the Unreal Engine uses is stored in packages that contain the game assets Maps Textures and Materials Static Meshes Skeletal Meshes

9. GAME DEVELOPMENT Huge, hard process Should be iterative Should accept sacrifice ITERATION Get the idea Story treatment Scheduling Tight team

10. NON-VISUAL SIDE You can write Unreal Script It's Like Java and C++ Engine Physics are written in it

11. Start your first level

12. Build a game that has morales Respect the human brain
