Challenges about scripting?

Hi all,

I’m a programmer who made everything he wanted to make. I’m looking for new chalke ges of stuff I can make,try to code. Both to improve my skills and to amuse myself. :slight_smile:

So, my question is:

Has anyone gotten a cool ID of something I can script? Not for money, just as a challenge.

If you want a way to search in, this are some of the most recent stuff I made:

  • Discord / roblox cross chat with moderator calling system. Also connected to a web server to store and handle data.

  • Application centres where the data is stored on we servers. I was bored so made a webpanel as well.

  • I made a website for a sports evenent where they can manage people who are participating, see whether they paid or not,…

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Jonas

How good are you with CFrames? I recommend challenging yourself by learning and mastering CFrames and their commands (like :ToObjectSpace). If you haven’t already… DX

Cool idea! I always stood away from them as I find them confusing lol. I only use cframe.new. :joy:

Try making a tennis game. It seems like it would be pretty challenging to make sure everything matches on the client and server without making it too laggy.

This site has cool challenges in python, you can probably try and accomplish the same challenges in roblox lua if you wanted too :smiley:

If you made a roblox-discord chat, why not go further and make it into a chat on your website, with realtime updating, nickname colors, etc.? And if you want to go even further, make it a full admin panel with info about players, bans and stuff.

Another “challenge” you could do is something I have personally done aswell - a working discord client in roblox (pm me if you want to check it out, since discord is “13+” I can’t post the video here).
Level hard: find a way to display user avatars without uploading them as decals and implement that into the client (since it’s a challenge just for yourself, it should be fine with the ToS).

oo, that would be cool! Can I see the discord-in-roblox example please? :slight_smile:

Most difficult challenge I know of, finish making a game! It’s not purely scripting, but a lot of methodologies from different practices can be applied to scripting. For example, Desire Paths.

You seem to have experience with different technologies, so if you want a harder challenge, you could try learning a new game engine, or even making your own.

Here are some ideas if you want something more specific:

  • A rising volcano escape.
  • A submarine adventure.
  • A space jungle shooter.
  • A mafia base platformer.
  • An deep ocean escape.
  • A dangerous playground.

I forgot to finish replying! It seems as though you found an idea that works, but I may as well provide my own idea anyway.

Thank you very much! I’m gonna try the ideas from Kiriot first,then yours! :slight_smile:

And what exactly is a lisp interpreter? Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

Kind regards,
Jonas

An interpreter which let’s you make a script in lisp syntax which then “interprets” it to lua. If you want to check out an example of an interpreter, moonscript is a good one. It may not be lisp but it’s still cool.
