I don't need to test my programs. I have an error-correcting modem.

This is a legacy page imported from the old Unreal Wiki. Please avoid editing or moving it and improve Unreal Engine instead. |
The Unreal Engine is the core software at the heart of UT, UT2003 and other games.
It has a two-tier structure:
- the C++ code, which in Unreal we call the "native" stuff. This handles all the low-level stuff and platform-specific things. It runs a Wikipedia:virtual machine similar to the Wikipedia:Java virtual machine, on which runs...
- the UnrealScript stuff. This is an object-oriented language that looks similar to Java or Javascript.
Most work with the engine is done in UnrealScript.

Bob_The_Beheader: Maybe link to an external site (like, from a university) on advanced physics for these topics??? ...except particle animation... but this is definately not what I learned in high school... :)
SuperApe: This page needs updating pretty badly. Many of the Overview pages are available now.
