Getting into C++ with Unreal Engine - Part 6 - User Interface (B)
This is the second part of a double episode going over the creation of UI elements in Unreal Engine,
using UMG Widgets.
It takes advantage of the opportunity to cover basic UI design and documentation as well as:
TObjectPtr,
TSubclassOf,
BindWidget,
Making C++ classes which you then subclass with blueprints,
and logging with UE_LOG, or UE_LOGFMT.
