Can I write software using Unreal Engine 4 without compiling Unreal Engine 4 from source? -

i watched video on youtube: introduction ue4 on github

basically explaining how unreal engine 4 source code github , how build in vs2013.

now understand need if people want create modifications engine itself, if want utilize engine , programme games it, need this?

i'm building right (75 minutes , counting), because watched ue4 programming tutorial , noticed missing few things programmer in tutorial had (thought maybe because didn't compile engine). figured needed build engine because ue4 programming tutorial said "i assume have downloaded engine source github , compiled in vs2013", nobody says why, nobody states whether or not required create game in c++ using unreal engine 4.

no dont need whole engine. there difference between code builds editor , code builds game. if want programme game should create new "code project" , modify code you're getting after creating new project.
