Engine Update

[Animation]

Potential problem having trouble rotating them due to adding control after the animation is finished is causing problems: solution might need to redo the run no time will be lost and i will complete the goal i would have set as well for next week as well

Menu Design

Target was not complete using this tutorial.

http://shootertutorial.com/2015/11/08/menu-main-menu/

This was as far as I got.

It got very confusing, very fast. I spent most of the week trying to figure out what was what.

Changed the current menu designs with the font and colors.

Julian gave me an official Unreal Engine tutorial
