Nothing will be clear if its your first time learning it, everything is difficult at first but I recommend youtube videos as most people are visual learners

if its your first week i’d recommend watching videos, then when you learn the basics you can try reading the docs for more specific stuff.

As for me, the dumbest question that can be asked by a person who wants to learn this. Nothing but practice will help you. Learn the basics of Lua, for example, from the official Roblox documentation site, and create small games for yourself. After a long time, study, and perseverance, you will notice that your skills are growing.

P.S. I don’t recommend watching tutorials on YouTube, as there is almost no practical benefit from them.

Well first of all I would suggest learning basic programming stuff that are applied to most of the programming languages, eg: variables, functions, procedural and object oriented programming, then as Roblox uses luau, an extended version of lua, you may want to learn more of writing basic lua program, then finally learn stuff added by Roblox in actual Roblox Games.

there can be a downside to watching tutorials (Not that it’s a bad thing)

i personally, got this mindset that “programmers are perfect and make no mistakes!” from watching too much tutorials that had prepared code (which i didn’t know at the time)

and any time i got an error in my code i would get demotivated and thought i’m a bad programmer

i’m still a bad programmer but atleast now i know that programmers spend more time debugging than writing!

The docs in long known as documents are pieces of information that assist you when scripting, similar to a helpdesk they give you more in depth information to help answer concerns related to the Roblox game engine. (Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub). As known, when adapting to a new engine, it’s best to watch videos and tutorials, which is beneficial. Keep in mind it may take time, and it’s best to learn your own pace.

Alright, this is relatable too. Practice makes a difference, don’t expect your code to be perfect, you would rather make mistakes to learn.

and also, PLEASE learn for loops before attempting to make an actual game

why??

well, otherwise you’ll end up with something like this (credit to 2021 notsad for showing me this code!):

THESE ZOMBIES JUST KEEP COMIN’ im picking 3 seeds for you this time

nothing is clear in coding you learn it your own way, and the more you learn the easier stuff is

dont watch tutorials just read the documentation, watching tutorials is very time consuming and you wont learn alot (unless you pay 100% attention) its like school but online

I don’t wanna say this tho, but, You guys are living in a simulation under a part of Google’s AI program of which an AI called Gemini AI tells people to add non-toxic glue to their pizzas to let the cheese stick to the crust.

Everything is wrong with this code.

Pick a goal and make it. Struggle, research, push yourself even when it seems overwhelming. 20 years from now you’ll be doing the same thing. Your level of understanding may change but these steps will not.
