Rocket Jump

This is an online multiplayer shooter game running on steam made as part of a programming course taken to get more familiar with the Unreal Engine.

Rocket jump around the map in a capture the flag online shooter!
You can explore the game on your own, but it is more fun to play with some friends.

What is Rocket Jump?

I had some free time after work, so I decided to learn how to use the Unreal Engine.
I explore it a bit on my own and really enjoyed it. So I found a course that could serve as a hands on guided tour around some of the features of the engine.

After completing it, I took away a few things we had done and added a few of my own.

Rocket Jumping

  • weapons have a push back force which allows you to jump/fly

Fall Damage

  • if you hit the ground with a velocity higher than a certain value, you get damaged
  • this makes so while you can use your weapon to move faster and higher, you need to think about slowling down when landing.
