Features

• Movement: 6-DOF controls (Roll, Pitch, Yaw) with 3-speed engine acceleration and stopping logic.

• Planets: with atmosphere control and a sun for lighting consistency and projected shadows on every actor in the scene.

• Debris Procedural Spawner: A Blueprint to automatically generate asteroid fields and debris clusters.

• Art Direction: Integrated post-processing stack and cinematic lighting for an immediate sci-fi atmosphere setup.

Number of Blueprints: 2 -> The Spaceship Navigation Blueprint and the Asteroid Field Blueprint.

Note : There is also a GameState and a GameOver (triggered upon crashing the ship) and a widget to support camera controls.
