In this series Chili endeavors to create an AI agent in C++ that can solve a classic puzzle game (8/15/24 sliding puzzle). This agent will not only solve the base problem, but will also be able to use computer vision to read the puzzle state from the screen (with OpenCV), and use input automation to enter the solution into the game (with AutoIt). There will be no reversing/process hacking involved; the agent will be required interact with the game just as a human user would.

Patrons of Planet Chili have access to exclusive content produced in appreciation of your support. These videos are unlocked by using the Chili Bucks that you receive for your pledges (every $1 pledged earns one Chili Buck). There are also about 1.5 ~ 2 bonus videos per month that are automatically unlocked for active patrons (Chili Bucks can be spent to unlock back issues of these videos).

These videos are less produced and scripted than the main tutorial series. They generally take the form of candid views into Chili messing with stuff he is interested in, rather than detailed tutorials. The main reason for this is time constraints: if the Patreon content were as work-intensive as the mainline stuff, the tutorials would crawl to a stop, and that would run counter to the spirit of this Patreon.

# Topic Release Date Runtime Cost Bonus
0 Announcement / Overview Oct 9, 2016 42:54 $2 YES
In this video Chili takes his first steps into the world of UE4 C++ dev, tackling the first official tutorial. We learn how to expose ourselves to UE4. Cones will hover and burn. Original Tutorial Link

Chili Fucks Unreal Engine 4

This series chronicles Chili's journey through the atrociously-documented world of Unreal Engine 4 C++ development. It is not a tutorial per ce, but rather a candid look at how someone might go about learning a new platform. Expect many expletives. Episodes of this series are currently being offered gratis to active Patrons as a Patreon perk at the time of their release.

1 Project Setup / Inherit & Extend Actor Oct 9, 2016 42:54 $2 YES
In this video Chili takes his first steps into the world of UE4 C++ dev, tackling the first official tutorial. We learn how to expose ourselves to UE4. Cones will hover and burn. Original Tutorial Link
2 Extend Pawn / User Input / Attach Components Nov 1, 2016 48:27 $2 YES
This video covers extending the Pawn class to create a user agent, and implementing keyboard controls for the pawn. We also create components and attach them to the Pawn. Original Tutorial Link
3 Timers / Blueprint-C++ Interop Scripting Nov 16, 2016 55:18 $2 YES
This video covers the topic of exposing C++ member functions to the UE4 Blueprint scripting engine so that they may either be called or implemented in Blueprints. We also do said calling and implementing inside of Blueprints (this is not C++, Chili does not approve). The tutorial also covers using UE4 timers. Original Tutorial Link
4 Cameras / TArray<> Nov 24, 2016 39:52 $2 YES
In this video we create some cameras, attach them to shit, switch between them, and move them the fuck around. We also check out the UE4 TArray<> container class and how it can be exposed to / manipulated from the editor environment. Original Tutorial Link
5 Logging / Map & Game Mode / Mouse / Jumping / Importing & Adding Rigged Mesh Dec 14, 2016 1:09:01 $2 YES
This video is the first part of a multi-part miniseries covering the official C++ FPS tutorial for UE4. In this video we do a bunch of setup bullshit, fool around with logging, do some input mapping bullshit featuring the mouse and some jump controls, and import and attach a rigged mesh to our Character, who looks like a half-starved Michelin Man for fucks sake. Original Tutorial Link
6 Spawning Actors Dynamically / Projectile / Collision Physics Jan 9, 2017 41:50 $2 YES
This video is the second part of a multi-part miniseries covering the official C++ FPS tutorial for UE4. In this video we implement the action of shooting a projectile. Topics covered include dynamic spawning of actors, setting up projectile motion, and setting up physics collisions. Original Tutorial Link
7 Character Mesh Animation Feb 21, 2017 41:33 $2 YES
[State Machine] This video is the third (final) part of a multi-part miniseries covering the official C++ FPS tutorial for UE4. In this video we implement the animation of the first person mesh using the state machine animation system. State machines are dope shit. Original Tutorial Link
8 Applying forces / Camera attachment / Detecting collision and communicating between actors Apr 10, 2017 1:24:08 $2 YES
[Ball Toucher] In this video we Free Chili! We go off the rails and do some creative experimentation alone. The idea is to create a simple rolling ball game where you have to collect a number of items. Ball is moved by applying forces, causing it to roll. The camera is stabilized using sockets and the spring arm component. We also deal with handling overlap events between actors and communication between actors. It's good shit.

ASM and Chill with Chili

This series features Chili messing around x86 assembly programming while thinking out loud and giving various narrations and sporadic explanations. We will start off with 16-bit DOS assembly under TASM/DOSBox, and then perhaps move onto some supervisor mode (operating systems programming) stuff under MASM 32-bit x86 or x64 via VirtualBox.

This is not a full-fledged hold-your-dick-and-wipe-your-ass tutorial series like the Beginner C++ stuff, but there are explanations given along the way and some links to useful material. Any questions you have can be answered by asking on the forum or the Discord.

1 simple source setup / building COM files / system interrupt services / basic computations / debugging with debug.exe Dec 28, 2016 1:22:00 $0 PUBLIC
In this video Chili reacquaints himself with TASM and x86 assembly, going over the basics of setting up a .asm source file, and calling some system services (BIOS int 10h, int 16h, DOS int 21h). We then mess with some looping and counting, defining some global data and getting pointers (offsets), and then we go all the way in and do some real calculations, fucking shit up real good along the way. But debug.exe has got our back, and we squash the bugs while also showing you guys the machine code being executed instruction by instruction by the CPU, and how it affects the state of the registers and RAM.

2 Functions and Stack Management Jan 3, 2017 1:27:42 $3 No
In this video Chili takes us on a magic carpet ride through the enchanting world of managing stack frames and calling functions. You'll never want to go back to high-level languages again where this stuff is all taken of you. Why would you, when you're having so much fun???!!! Click here for the page for the first tutorial of this series (contains download link). Contact Chili over Patreon to exchange CBuck$ for the unlock today!
3 Segment:Offset Addressing & Video Memory Feb 5, 2017 38:02 $2 No
We learn about the weird wild world of x86 segment addressing (different pointers point to the same location in memory??? absurd!) and we draw dumb rectangles on the screen by pokin around in video memory. Also, rep stosw is pretty cool.
