Hello, i wanted to ask a good idea for an obby game. I chose obby because is one of the simpliest game to make in roblox. I’m still new and i’m learning to script, i’m still struggling to understand the logic of a script that make the part kill you. So i wanted to also ask good source to learn code, i already have a book named “The advanced roblox coding book, am unofficial guide”… it’s still a struggle because i’m italian and learn is a little bit more difficult but hopefully i have a pretty good english vocabulary. Hope you understand.

- Themed Obby: Choose a fun theme like a jungle adventure, space exploration, or a medieval castle. This will make your obby more engaging and visually appealing.
- Timed Challenge: Add a timer to your obby so players have to complete the course within a certain time limit. This adds an extra layer of excitement.
- Obstacle Variety: Mix different types of obstacles like moving platforms, spinning blades, and disappearing floors to keep the gameplay interesting.
- Checkpoint System: Implement checkpoints so players can respawn at certain points rather than starting from the beginning each time.
- Hidden Paths: Include hidden paths or secret areas that players can discover for extra rewards or shortcuts.
- Roblox Developer Hub: The Roblox Developer Docs has a wealth of tutorials and resources to help you learn scripting and game development in Roblox.
- YouTube Channels: Channels like AlvinBlox, TheDevKing, and GnomeCode offer fantastic video tutorials that can help you understand scripting concepts better.

I have no idea what’s going on with the copy pasting of the AI post in the rest of the replies.
I’d recommend using LLMs like Claud and GPT for simple scripts like a part that kills the player if you’re mostly looking to make a game rather than learn programming. The LLMs should be able to figure that out. For more advanced scripts they might have trouble though (e.g. scripts that need to work with context like a UI, complicated scripts in general like special player abilities, and scripts that need to interact with multiple pieces of code like a pets equipping and purchasing system).
An obby is a good place to start, especially if your skills are more in building rather than programming. You could try making a themed obby (those seem to do well), an obby with a creative twist (e.g. some popular ones have 2 players, give the player special abilities, etc), or make an obby that’s very detailed (for example cool obby).
I’d recommend a in-person class to learn programming. The programming language isn’t very important as long as the class goes in-depth. Barring that, I’d recommend a free online course (I know some US colleges offer some great ones and there might be some good ones in Italian too).

i mean he didnt even try to make it look human
hi. thank you for your response. I’m actually trying to learn programming. As i said i have a book that teach me to program. About classes… on youtube i found tutorials in italians but thay dont teach much, the english ones are clickbait or they don’t teach you anything. Like i saw a video that says “Learn Roblox Lua in 10 minutes” like i don’t even click becouse he is gonna some clickbait stuff. But if u can reccomend some of free classes of roblox programming i’m going to be glad.

There aren’t a ton for Roblox programming that I think are any good in my opinion to be honest. I would recommend taking an intro level college class in Python to learn programming fundamentals (there are lots of options for python, and it’s a very common and useful language), then moving back to Lua (Lua is pretty easy to learn once you learn programming in general).
For example, MIT has a course you can take:
I would do some research about which courses are the best though. There are quite a few options.

yeah actually i already know the basics of python. like i made kg to pounds convertor or a square are calculator of varius shape like triangle, cube ,trapezium ecc… i know if statement, while, for, input, lists.
but i realised that roblox programming is much much difficult than python because is object oriented and have built-in functions and actions that i don’t know can i remember it all of them honestlly, they are like more than 200.

Yeah that is difficult. The Roblox API is pretty big. I personally use the docs a lot to find stuff and use the properties window to see most of the properties of different instances.

What is the docs and if I use it can help you remember the built in functions and actions? And another question. I know it’s a very dumb question. But how much time you need to learn the basics of programming games. Ik that it depends on the person but I want know a range of time. Because I started “doing games” in 2020 or 2021 and I was a 12 year old but all that I knew was to copy from the toolbox and just paste in game. During the years there was times where I wanted to make a game but gave up even in the first day but now it’s started to getting serious so I don’t want to gave up anymore.

The docs (documentation) describe all of Roblox’s API. You search up an instance (like a Part or ParticleEmitter) and it shows you all the properties, methods, and events the instance has, along with descriptions of each.
For example, here are the docs for the Part instance:
It took me maybe a month or two of using studio to learn most of the API that’s important (or at least learn it enough to know what to look for in the documentation).

I know this is a really old threat. But I love seeing people wanting to start out deving on roblox! It’s great that you’ve starter and welcome to the community! There are several ways you can learn to code. I myself just looked up youtube videos. Now if you want to still make an obby i recommended this video. He’s very good and keeps it simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v3GvfX_qr8
