Hey y’all!

It’s International Box Day on the day of posting this! :package:

Introduction

A Bit About Me

Ever since I became a Regular (known as “Member” back then), I always had the interest to teach the community about something that I knew. Back then, only Regulars were allowed to post there (yeah, “back then”, call me a boomer if you want to). But sadly, back then, I was not confident enough to post because I thought I didn’t know as much about Roblox development as now.

Over time, as I became more experienced, I started posting my first tutorials (yep, the ones with the least likes, of course :tongue:). Anyways, ever since then, I’ve constantly posted in the category almost every month. The topics tend to get more and more advanced, but I do occasionally post beginner tutorials as it will help those who were like me back then (I didn’t have any resources like that).

This Topic’s Purpose

I believe that having your resources being in one location makes it better to navigate your way when stumbling across a “knowledge barrier” while developing. So, I created this hub topic. The first time I thought of the idea, there was a lot of controversy going on about them being in #resources:community-resources, so I was more inclined to posting them in #bulletin-board. But, now they’re officially banned, so definitely post here!

How I Make My Tutorials

So, before in 2019, my tutorials were very casual in the sense that I didn’t put much time behind them and they were relatively easy to create. Back then, they were based on accidentally stumbling upon the thing that I explaining in the tutorial. For example, one of my highest liked tutorials “Web Design Part 1: Rounded Corner Hover Effect” only exists because I was messing around with rounded buttons via SliceScaling and I found a way to adjust the roundness within Studio. Then, a lightbulb went off in my head and I was like “that’s a cool hover effect”, and then came the tutorial.

Today, I go out and look for ideas instead of them hitting me when I least expect it. But, that doesn’t mean I point my fingers at my head and force it to think; I just hang around the DevForum and Roblox YouTube videos to see what people are requesting the most in the #help-and-feedback category and what cool things games have implemented, respectively. If I feel like it’d make a good tutorial, I go on. For example, another highly liked tutorial is my UIGraident Animations one. I just saw that many people were asking how to create a rainbow animation, so I got an idea.

With such an idea, I then go to Studio and try to recreate it disregarding efficiency at first. I just want to make it work. Then, I try to remove unnecessary code/try to shorten it via more variables etc. until I feel like it’s been optimized the best it can be. Finally, I double-check if there are any unwanted glitches/bugs with the code, and if that passes, the tutorial is a go.

As per the actual tutorial topic, I don’t directly start typing on the “new topic” window, but instead, I DM discobot (in the default “Greetings” one). This is because if the tutorial is long, writing the topic will get laggier and laggier over time, so I just break it down in the DM. Plus, I’ve accidentally posted a topic prematurely by pressing Cntrl + enter, and it was so embarrassing that I never directly wrote in the window ever.

Quality

Most of my tutorials have a poll asking about the quality, usefulness, and/or implementation of the topic, which allows for a simple calculation of the overall rating:

Rating
Rating2500×416 54.9 KB

This may be slightly outdated, but I’ll try to keep it updated as much as possible. With every new tutorial, I’ll wait a month after updating the ratings to let the polls stabilize.

Mechanics

  • I will categorize the tutorials into suitable sections for easy picking (or clicking, in this instance? :thinking:). Anyways, there’ll also be a “return to the hub” button on top of every one of my tutorials linking it to this very post.

  • Links with :star:s next to them mean they’re exceptionally helpful. This is in terms of the likes received and community feedback. I will try to limit using that to preserve its true definition.

  • If you find any outdated, malformatted content, etc., make sure to DM me about them so I can fix it ASAP! I will still try to update it as needed.

Enjoy!
