How pro Roblox developers learnt to script

Today I asked pro Roblox developers what they did when learning to script and what was useful to them. I also did a survey of 100 developers and reveal the results later in the video!

I still remember seeing some screenshots of a certain stickmasterluke on the dinosaur-era on-site forums, frantically asking beginner-level questions about game development and scripting.
How far things have come...

"Learning scripting shouldn't be a chore it should be something you enjoy" --Alvin Blox what a great lesson to be learnt

[Robertisindian]

This guy helped me a lot in learning how to script, so I just wanted to say thank you for making such helpful videos!

[duality]

Ah yes the average day for me is
1.look up how to script
2.watch the entire video
3.try to do what’s in the video
4.be lazy and quit
5.go back and repeat the same thing

[dannyrietveld]

It's basicly pretty simple. Take a free model, edit, morize, repeat.
It really works when leanring more!

[Amiietta]

Why did I feel motivated when I was watching this video? lol

[CyberCreator]

Great video! Sometimes people forget that everyone has to start from somewhere. No one becomes a pro overnight

I’m here currently working on the base system for my game after ditching around 6 or so projects over 5 years. This channel has been the source for me to learn studio itself and lua. I went from following tutorials not paying attention to fully understanding the code and being able to tweak everything and make my own. Thank you

i learned everything about coding but i wasnt sure how everything worked, but this video helped me realize what to do THANK YOU WSLY I LOVED UR GAME BTW

[KevinRexFromDk]

Love the work that went into this video! The editing is on point :)

[snowboi]

I bet zKevin learned like:

"How to make door"
"How do seed generation"
"What is particle emitter"

Good video, good tips!

As a game developer who worked in a company for 5 years, you have a tight schedule sometimes (if not always).
When you have a tight schedule, you have to think faster and less planning.

I favor planning and doing things in the best way possible.
But from what I have learned over the years in developing complex features ...
Only when you start writing you see things more clearly.

Another thing that many don't do and learn it, and if they understand it, it is the most significant step they might be able to take on the action to become PRO!
It's shortcuts. Knowing how to write code is not a problem. Learning how to write quality and flexible code that can be changed in the future - it's a significant step on the way to becoming a PRO programmer.
So, of course, it can come with experience, but always try to improve yourself and not get stuck. Check how you can improve the existing code (considering the time you have).

Good luck!

this gave me a huge impression. thanks for nice video alvin!

[yepdoodles]

Thank you so much and to everyone that you interviewed. This has helped so much and I am yet again very appreciative of this video.

[RyKy]

Thank you so much for this video. Your scripting tutorials are amazing and give good developer resources to your viewers! You and the devs in the video are absolute legends!

Lua learning deserves a lot more love than it should. Went on there and only 15 people were playing it. Now it might be because people learned and left the game. The tutorials are not all over the place and only take like ten minutes to read (I read the easy ones not sure about the medium or hard) also during the tutorials it will tell you what each line of code means. What I would do is write the code down in my sketchbook. Then write what it means and try to quiz myself until I remember what it means.

This is the same way I learned the Korean words that mean what to do when I took taekwondo classes

[joemkdd]

Fantastic video. The testimonies from top devs, as well as your own commentary give some much needed insight into the world of programming that many "how to code" videos fail to explain entirely.

[Moatiz]

Thanks again Alvin as always. Now that I chose to become a game design student in college, I can actually focus on beginning to learn scripting and level design without just screwing around for hours and ditching the project as I usually do.
