Template project for NimForUE: https://github.com/jmgomez/NimForUE
NimForUE is Nim plugin for UE5 that provides native performance, hot reloading, and full interop between C++ and Blueprints. With this plugin, you can extend any UE class in Nim and then further extend it in Blueprint without restarting the editor. This allows for seamless integration with common UE workflows, allowing you to take advantage of the power of Nim in your UE projects.
Make sure you have Unreal Engine 5.1 installed and Nim 1.6.10 or above is in your path.
- Clone the repository and its submodules:
git clone https://github.com/jmgomez/NimTemplate.git --recurse-submodules

This will build the project and all the necessary Nim files.
-
Open NimTemplate.uproject

When UE loads the plugin it will automatically generate all the bindings for the plugin listed in your game.
-
Once the bindings are generated, open game.nim in the root of the NimForUE directory in VSCode. There should be a task available to build the game DLL.
