You can access the source code via GitHub if you follow these steps: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/ue4-on-github https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/ue4-on-github Did a quick `cloc` run of the codebase, shows the following: github.com/AlDanial/cloc v 1.84 T=86.60 s (949.0 files/s, 297044.5 lines/s) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language files blank comment code --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C++ 20720 1622066 1102650 7943910 C/C++ Header 46048 1443245 2403181 5914335 C 3123 311091 384178 1319332 Python 2625 164396 219571 693345 C# 2587 71616 99526 472242 XML 1429 4589 4985 420621 HTML 518 9623 1370 124409 MSBuild script 225 10 551 122808 JSON 231 59 0 122326 CMake 1655 18686 38278 97625 Bourne Shell 348 11335 15567 69747 Objective C 351 12507 15181 59608 Objective C++ 124 7159 3992 34551 Expect 20 3889 46 32132 INI 341 5658 1719 27645 make 682 9220 13527 25996 Markdown 156 7829 0 25333 Windows Module Definition 145 1871 144 23754 CSS 32 2699 553 23212 Java 102 3035 3832 18332 Pascal 15 798 26566 15507 JavaScript 103 2125 2208 15486 Perl 76 2253 2218 11634 HLSL 123 2518 3934 10942 DOS Batch 238 2492 1080 7361 TypeScript 32 1550 983 6242 Windows Resource File 70 1013 1348 3628 GLSL 38 685 487 2994 XAML 13 201 87 2861 ASP.NET 7 538 7 2687 Ant 4 54 216 799 SAS 1 14 22 32 Bourne Again Shell 1 0 0 9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUM: 82183 3724824 4348007 17651445 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Is that for UE4 or UE5? In any case, thanks for the reply.

    Not sure, the git remote is `git@github.com:EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git` and the commit at the time I run cloc was `f8f4b403eb682ffc055613c7caf9d2ba5df7f319` which is the head of the `release` branch. But, if UE4 was/is mainly, you can expect UE5 to follow the same path, they are not gonna rewrite 20720 files into a different language just for fun.

Does anyone know in what language was the engine developed? Is it still C++?
