Roblox FAQ
Answers to the most popular questions
Roblox uses the Lua programming language for coding. Lua is a lightweight, high-performance programming language that is widely used in game development and other applications. It is an easy to learn, yet powerful language that is often used to create scripts and custom logic for games and other interactive experiences. Lua is also a popular choice for game development because it is fast, and easy to integrate with other software.
What coding language is used in Roblox?
Q:
A:
Yes, kids can learn how to code with Roblox using the Lua programming language, which allows them to create games and experiences on the platform. The coding in Roblox is similar to other types of coding in that it involves writing instructions for a computer to execute. However, it may be more accessible and user-friendly for those without prior coding experience. So the Roblox platform can certainly be used as a tool to learn coding.
Can a child study coding with Roblox?
Q:
A:
Roblox coding is the process of creating scripts and custom logic for the Roblox platform. These scripts are used to create interactive experiences and games within the Roblox platform. Students can create their own games and virtual worlds, as well as customize existing ones.
Is Roblox coding real coding?
Q:
A:
Roblox can be a great tool for children to learn and develop new skills. The platform's visual scripting tool, Roblox Studio, allows children to learn to code using Lua language, which will help them develop basic programming skills. They can also pick up skills such as digital literacy, collaboration, design and even some basic elements of game design.
Which Python books are the right choice for kids?
Q:
A:
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1/10×64, Mac OS X 12.0 and higher;
Processor: 4-core i5 from Intel 7th generation (for example) with a clock speed of 2.0 GHz;
Installed Internet browser Google Chrome;
RAM: 8 GB;
Any video card with at least 500 MB of video memory;
Hard disk space: at least 4−8 GB of free hard disk space;
Microphone or headset; speakers;
Internet connection from 1 Mbps.
What are the system requirements?
Q:
A:
A child learns to write code in the LUA programming language, therefore improves his/her level of algorithmic and creative thinking
A student will learn to create objects, characters, animation and design landscapes. Get to know the basics of game and level design
A child will make his imagination come true and will create his own full-fledged game universe on the Roblox Studio platform.
