Series Contents
| Series | Description |
|---|---|
| Variables and Objects | Create your first script and start making things happen with code. These tutorials cover variables, data types, and properties. |
| Functions and Events | Use functions to create chunks of code that run only when you tell it. Connect your code to in-world events to create interactive objects like traps or bridges. |
| Conditionals | Conditionals use the coding pattern of "if this happens then do that." Apply this pattern to check if the time is right to unlock power ups for your players. |
| Loops | Learn how to repeat code a certain amount of time or make it run forever using for and while loops. Practice using these loop types to code timed bridges and flashing lights. |
| Dictionaries and Arrays | Learn how to store a lot of data in a single variable using tables and arrays. Data structures such as these can store large data sets like a player's inventory. |
| Organizing Code | Take your code organization a step further and learn about module scripts, a unique type of script that can interact with other scripts in Roblox Lua. |
