What you need for this book

Creating a game is an elaborate task that will require a combination of assets and code. To create assets and code, we'll need some pretty advanced tools, including art tools, sound tools, level-editing tools, and code-editing tools. Assets include any visual artwork (2D sprites, 3D models), audio (music and sound effects), and game levels. To perform that, we'll set up a C++ coding environment to build our UE4 applications. We'll download Visual Studio 2015, install it, and set it up for UE4 C++ coding. (Visual Studio is an essential package for code editing when editing the C++ code for your UE4 game.)
