Some questions others ask about Roblox or something similar that might help you too

What is Roblox?

To start, Roblox is not a single game. It’s a platform that hosts millions of user-generated experiences, such as historical roleplaying games or virtual labs to simulate physics experiments.

Because of the diversity of content you’ll find on Roblox, we use the term experience to refer to what you play on Roblox. Experiences are designed by Roblox users, who may be individual students or professional studios.

Hardware Requirements for Creation

Below are requirements if students are interested in using Roblox Studio to develop their own experiences.

  • A PC or Mac computer. Roblox Studio cannot run on Chromebooks or mobile devices such as smartphones.
  • Consistent Internet access. This allows us to keep the software up to date and gives you the opportunity to save your projects to your Roblox account.
  • A free Roblox account. Roblox Studio is free to use and does not require a license.
  • A mouse with a scroll wheel. While Roblox Studio is usable with a trackpad, having a mouse makes it easier.

However, with practice and perseverance, it is possible to become proficient at scripting in Roblox.

How do I learn to Script on Roblox?

What programming language does Roblox use?

Roblox uses a programming language called Lua. Lua is a lightweight, high-performance programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is often used in games and other applications that require a lot of scripting, such as Roblox. Lua is known for its simple syntax, small footprint, and fast performance. It is also an interpreted language, meaning that it can be run directly from source code, which allows for rapid development and iteration.
