You’re in luck. From AI enemies and particle effects to a full menu system for saving progress, if you want to create something in Unreal Engine then you’ll likely be using the Blueprint visual scripting system. 

Sign up for the Blueprint Ninja Challenge today, and you’ll not only learn to deploy Unreal Engine Blueprints like a pro. You’ll also earn exclusive badges every time you complete courses along the way. 

Just remember to act quickly if you want to take advantage of the challenge. You only have three weeks to complete enough Blueprint courses to go from Journeyman to Master, and win a Mystery Box of Unreal Engine SWAG!
