Unreal Engine C++ Header Architect & Macro Generator
A lightweight desktop app or IDE plugin that allows developers to visually map out their C++ classes, variables, and functions. It automatically generates the correct Unreal Engine header files and boilerplate macros, eliminating the need to manually edit headers and trigger engine-crashing hot reloads.
これが重要な理由
When you transition to Unreal Engine, you quickly discover that mixing code and visual scripts is a frustrating balancing act. You want the performance of raw code, but modifying header files constantly breaks the engine's hot-reloading feature, forcing you to restart the entire editor. You try using the default IDE, but the compile times are agonizingly slow and live coding frequently fails. Existing solutions like premium IDEs help with syntax, but they do not solve the fundamental architectural headache of planning your classes perfectly in advance to avoid editor crashes. You end up wasting hours managing boilerplate macros and restarting your project instead of actually building your game.

- Design the core JSON schema for representing an Unreal Engine class (variables, types, functions).
- Build a simple web-based UI using React to add variables and select their macro properties (BlueprintReadWrite, EditAnywhere).
- Write the parsing logic to convert the JSON schema into valid Unreal C++ header (.h) text.
- Write the parsing logic to generate the corresponding implementation (.cpp) stubs.
- Deploy the basic web generator to Vercel for initial user testing.
- Add support for inheritance (e.g., selecting ACharacter or AActor as a base class).
- Implement a feature to export the generated files directly to a local directory.
- Create a 2-minute demo video comparing the manual header editing process vs using the tool.
- Set up a landing page with an email capture form and the demo video.
- Distribute the tool in game dev Discord servers and gather feedback on the generated syntax.

- 1Programmers are highly opinionated and may reject generated code that doesn't perfectly match their personal formatting style.
- 2Epic Games could release a 'Live Coding 2.0' update that completely solves header modification issues natively.
- 3The tool might struggle to parse and update existing, highly complex legacy codebases, limiting it to new projects only.
エビデンスの概要
AIがこのインサイトをどのように統合したか — 逐語的な引用はありません
Multiple developers in the discussion highlighted severe workflow bottlenecks when using the default IDE for Unreal Engine. About half of the commenters explicitly mentioned terrible compile times, broken live coding, and the necessity of restarting the engine after minor header changes. Several users noted they either pay for premium IDEs to mitigate these issues or strictly separate their architecture—putting core logic in code and visuals in scripts—just to avoid the engine's fragile recompilation process.

ターゲットユーザー
対象：Indie game developers and mid-sized studios using Unreal Engine 5 who are frustrated by slow compile times and hot-reload crashes.
機能リスト
✓ Visual node-based interface for planning class architecture. ✓ One-click generation of .h and .cpp files with correct UPROPERTY/UFUNCTION macros. ✓ Safe-sync feature that injects implementation code without touching headers. ✓ Pre-built templates for common hybrid classes (e.g., Base Character, Inventory).
