It was an incredibly boring day, so I had the idea to program a programming language in Roblox studio.
Here’s a snippet:
And here’s the place if anyone wants to try it out (Most objects aren’t implemented in the game yet):
Controls:
Opening & Exiting the spawning menu: Q
Opening the program ui: Hover the cursor over the desired object and press E
Exiting the program ui: E
To string nodes together: Click on the first node’s front connector and click on a second node’s back connector
To unstring nodes: Click on the string
Creating connections: Hover the cursor over the desired object and press R, repeat with another object
Creating ropes (buggy): Hover cursor over the desired object and press T, repeat with another object
FYI for coding:
The program will compile once you string nodes together, meaning that if you’ve already entered a value (ex: velocity) and connected the Velocity node, when you enter a new value for the Velocity node, the object you’re coding won’t convert to the new value unless you reconnect the Velocity node.
When stringing nodes, the order of connecting matters!
The order of nodes should be (Statement > Event > Action)
The first node you clicked to be chosen is the “before” and the second node is the “after”. Ex: Clicking a Velocity node and then clicking on an event node (ex: Touched) would mean that Velocity comes first then Touched comes second, which doesn’t make sense, the chronological order would look like: (Statement > Action > Event).
To correct this, click on the Touched node first, then click on the Velocity node second, which would mean that when Touched, the object’s velocity = x,y,z.
Logic gates & User Input currently don’t work… it looks simple to implement but no.
It’s a little buggy, any feedback would be great.
Edit: I forgot that I’ve privated the game, it’s now public.
This is an extremely cool game, especially for people who have just started the intense journey of programming. It also works a bit like Minecraft but a lot more advanced, which is epic.
Great work on the game! Expanding on this, with a tutorial and everything will surely help young programmers get started!
Much like EventCode plugins, this works similar to Cube 2 Sauerbraten and that plugin i mentioned earlier honestly i love the way it works and having to play around using phones would be fun.
When I saw the title of the post, I was a bit confused. But then Instantly after watching the video. I was amazed. Idk how someone can make a game this good. Honestly awesome. The only thing that I didn’t like that much. Is when connecting the scripts the buttons are so small for connecting. Other than that it’s such a good idea.
I’m not. It’s what you SHOULD and SHOULDN’T say. You should think before you say things. Personally, I think that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the style. Maybe I’m just stupid and there is. That’s just my opinion. I don’t want to just throw the o word around, but if it’s an isolated thought, there really is no reason to say it. How long would it take you to find another person that thinks the style is “Basic”?
The point is, I’m not telling you what to say, I’m just saying, it’s a personal, unique opinion. He MOST LIKELY won’t change the UI based off of it. Maybe I’m wrong.
