☝ This is a very early build and release of this simulator environment and while it is able to run well enough it is certainly what I’d call in development.
The simulation files and UE4 project for a simulated virtual environment used in the publication of the following work.

Due to some of the limitations with sharing and distributing UE projects I’ve decided to try out drobox transfer as a distribution method. Below are the builds we have so far and the links to the associated project files. In future we may change this distribution system and are certainly open to ideas or recommendations form the community.
While this release uses an older version of the UE4 engine it is reliable and can be built using the local options in UE4.24 after that version building to HTML was depreciated and thus we use this slightly old version for our studies.
Content:
- UE4/5 project files and assets.
- Blueprint code and logical behavior scripts with commenting.
This version of the project was brought into UE5 to leverage the new updates to the unreal engine but is not fully able to be built for HTML (online) deployment without some additional work. This should, however, work well locally and on regular computer interfaces. There are plans to try and figure out how to deploy it via HTML but right now they are on hold due to other projects.
Content:
- UE5 project files and assets.
- Blueprint code and logical behavior scripts with commenting.
In order to utilize this project file you’ll need the following packages from the UE4 marketplace as they are present in the project and it may or may not work without them.
