This project was created for demonstrative and educational purposes.
The requirements for this project were to create a basic car configuration tool which would allow a user to;
- Select different car models
- Select colours for the selected model
- Add "extras" to the configured car
- Update the price to reflect the user's choices
- Provide an option to print the user's selection
- Run as a stand-alone executable
- Filtering of configuration options based upon item selection (models for specific manufacture, engines for specific model etc)
- Additional engine filtering options (fuel and gearbox type)
- Updating of configured options, prices, and total price
- Screen capture and automated save location opening
- Edge case protection (no items for selection, missing product images)
The project was created using Unreal Engine (5.0.3). it's code was written using C++. The project makes use of Structs, Enums, TArrays, and User Widgets, to support both source and configurable data, and the user-interface.
Plans for further development include;
- Configurable categorised "extras" (e.g. in car entertainment, spare wheel, paint protection etc)
- Improved UI
- Support to email configurede car specifications
2D images of cars were obtained from their respective manufacturers websites (Ford, Fiat, and Peugeot) and are used for demonstrative/educational purposes only.
It should be noted that permission was not sought/given by the manufacturers to use these images.
