Read that Lua is an accepted language for the project, so anybody who has done/is doing OCR A-level computer science know if you can use roblox studio, or do you need to use some other was to make the code?
OCR website where it’s said Lua is allowed:

they said unity was available so you should be fine.
This is a question for your CS Teacher; you can also contact OCR directly via ComputerScience@ocr.org.uk if you would like to seek an absolute answer.
It would be a very bad idea to base your A Level grades off of advice on this forum as it is unclear if Roblox Studio is deemed appropriate (there are a lot of functionality bits which are done by Roblox for you; this means that it may be really difficult to demonstrate that you have met the complexity requirements as stated in the Mark Scheme).
The goal of the A Level is to assess your ability; this means that whatever game you create must be complex enough without Roblox’s help (i.e. the primary thing they’re assessing is your code, not the game itself or Roblox’s engine). I don’t think it would be explicitly disallowed however it’s a discussion for you and your teacher to have about that.

I know I’m late. But did you ever get a response from OCR about using Roblox studio for your project?
Very late, but I did email OCR about this question last month, and they said it was fine to use Roblox.

Thx, yeah I emailed them aswell and they said it was fine.
Just received my mark of 60/70 for my NEA using Roblox so if anyone is thinking of doing it, then it is definitely possible.
Yeah, I got 51/70 so a B. Very doable since most marks are from your documentation.
