How To Remember Past Lessons On Coding

Help and Feedback Platform Usage Support

Hello,

I have been learning Roblox scripting for a few months now but I still have an issue with remembering past lessons. I learned scripting from BrawlDev’s videos and whenever I want to create something, I usually need to go back to those videos to remember how to use certain things.

I’m here to ask any advice to solve my problem.
Any help will make me grateful.

It will come with practice, so the more programming that you do, the faster and better you will remember how do to certain things. So keep at it! Challenge yourself, and try making things without following tutorial videos (as in, try making your own code rather than following exactly what the tutorial is doing) - this will help embed the knowledge in your mind and become more flexible with how you understand it.

It really depends on what you’re struggling with:

  • Forgot an API call or syntax? Completely normal. That’s not what coding is about - even seniors look up documentation constantly. Luau only has around 20–30 keywords anyway, and the rest is just muscle memory.
  • Stuck on logic and code flow? In that case - stop re-watching tutorials once you understand the general flow. Instead, start setting up mini-challenges to build things from scratch. That’s the only way to build real problem-solving intuition, and it will carry over to any other language you may learn later. But, keep watching videos when you’re unsure of what architecture/approach to take rather than how to write each line - and keep watching BrawlDev especially because.. well, he really is the GOAT.

I dont think you learned it very well then also make sure you actually understand what they are saying and in the future if you forget something check the documentation and devforums instead of the video

It’s absolutely OK to consult the tutorials in order to remember how to do something.

It’s actually a very good thing, because:

  1. You are trying to make something;
  2. You don’t know how to do it;
  3. You remembered where in the tutorial it’s explained;
  4. You go and watch it

You are doing a great job this way, because you know where to find the solution. You can also consult the Creator Docs and all resources available to you the same way.
