Unreal Study Guide
A Basic → Advanced learning path. The source list grouped 96 resources under 7 topics (General, Blueprints, Level, Fortnite, Balance, Programming, Others). This guide re-sequences them by skill tier instead, so the whole curriculum reads as one progression from first-hour fundamentals to advanced systems.
Within each tier, items keep the original topic order; the origin topic is shown as a topic chip and the resource type as a colored source chip. Tick a box to mark something done — progress is saved in this browser (localStorage) and survives a reload.
