The Component Design Pattern:
Software Design Patterns are like a guide on how to write good code, whether you're using Blueprints or C++, knowing good software practices is a MUST!

About me:
I've been learning game development for a few years now, I have a background in software engineering, and I also have a background in education, so being able to combine my love of gaming, software engineering and education is the best way to spend my time.

I am currently working on a few unreal engine games as a hobby, but I am also trying to build a community, thus I am creating YouTube tutorials to find others who are interested in game development and design.
