Last lecture we finished the Console-Chess program together with the PlainC++-Lectures and advance now towards Unreal Engine and our new project "Living Room". Thus there will be first a small introduction in how to setup the project and use it in Unreal Engine while also considering the changes made within the files to make them work with Stockfish once more. Once this is clear, the coding part is starting where we create the Checkboard-Pattern for our chessboard using Unreal Engine C++. After this lecture, the usage of Blueprints, their connection to the C++-Files and the structure of the project should be clear before we take the next step towards finishing our 3D-Chess.
You can find the projects used in the tutorial following this link, together with the setup instructions:

This series will be done in terms of the Applied Software Techniques course at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, which I will teach this semester.
