Verse Scene Graph

4 lessons

Entities, components, hierarchy, and building your first system.

Scene Graph: Animation

4 lessons

Move, rotate, sequence, and ride — animate entities over time.

Scene Graph: Sound

4 lessons

Positional audio and triggered sound effects in the scene graph.

Scene Graph: Characters

4 lessons

Find the player's character, move it, react to it, then build a playable arena.

Scene Graph: Skeletal & Sequenced Animation

4 lessons

Drive skeletal meshes, roll cinematic sequences, direct the playhead, then choreograph a full reveal — all from Verse.

Scene Graph: NPCs

4 lessons

Spawn hordes, tune guard AI, author custom NPC behaviors, and build a Sidekick companion that follows and feels — all from Verse.

Scene Graph: Car Primitive

4 lessons

Build a car you can paint, climb into in first person, and drive — the final scene-graph domain, all in compile-clean Verse.

The troublesome fundamentals · 1 section · 5 lessons

Verse Foundations: Optionals, Failure & Modules

The five fundamentals that trip up every Verse newcomer — and the source of most compile errors and crashes. Master optionals, the 'performing if' and failure model, transactional state changes, the standard utility toolbox, and modules. Each lesson is grounded in real shipping Verse and names the exact mistakes that cost people hours.

Optionals, Failure & Modules

5 lessons

Maybe-values, the performing if, no-rollback state changes, the utility toolbox, and code organization — the fundamentals that unlock the rest of Verse.

Build the classics · 1 section · 24 lessons

Game Modes

Learn the staple multiplayer game modes by building them. Each lesson breaks down what a mode is, the genre and player counts, the core gameplay loop, why it's fun, who made the great Fortnite versions, and then builds a working, compile-clean objective in Verse on top of Fortnite's creative devices. Start with the simple staples — Capture the Flag, Search & Destroy, and Box Fights — then graduate to more complex formats.

Staple Modes

24 lessons

The simple, instantly-readable classics — capture, plant-defuse, and the build-battle crucible — each with a compile-verified Verse objective device.

Many things at once · 1 section · 1 lesson

Concurrency & Game Logic

Real games do many things at the same time — timers, cinematics, and especially AI. Learn the async half of Verse: the <suspends> world and Await, the six concurrency expressions (spawn, loop, sync, race, rush, branch), the key pattern of racing awaited events and branching on the winner, and how that builds into the NPC state machines that drive game behaviour. Every example is compile-verified.

Concurrency & State Machines

1 lesson

Async with <suspends>/Await, spawn/loop/sync/race/rush/branch, racing awaited events, and building a working NPC behaviour state machine.
