I think this is gatekeeping and a super inappropriate response. You should be more welcoming; it’s a public forum.
It’s a fun idea. Maybe the scripting use case isn’t apparent but there’s nothing wrong with an esoteric language either. If nothing else it can be used as a learning resource.
You’re being unnecessarily hostile about this for what some would most definitely find to be a useful resource, despite your bold claim that nobody would use it (when did you get to decide what everyone will do?)
When would someone use this? It looks to me like it could be useful for basic things, as the name literally describes, such as allowing players in certain kinds of games to create basic pieces of code or potentially even mathematical expressions to use for something within the game among other things.
I haven’t actually checked out this resource myself yet, but it looks to me to be a useful and great resource that I can see many use cases for, outside of it’s original purpose of helping people who don’t know how to script.
saw this post a while ago, didn’t expect to see someone so unsupportive after I looked back
btw I love how you did an OOF command, nice
It’s an npm module for those who use VSCode…
I’ll just bump this brilliant response here.
You seem to have completely overlooked the fact that the npm module is an optional method of using it, if you actually took a proper look at the post, you’d see there is a Roblox plugin too as an option.
It doesn’t matter if it is only gonna be useful to a small amount of developers, that doesn’t immediately nullify the fact that it is still a good, and useful resource for developers, you are being extremely hostile and rude about this.
The way you phrased your message made you come across as though you were implying that absolutely nobody would find this useful, it definitely has some use in game development, even if you fail to see it because you are simply not the target audience that this resource was intended to be useful to.
If you don’t find a resource useful to yourself, that’s perfectly fine. But don’t be toxic about it and make it out like there is absolutely nobody who would find this resource to be of use to them and be unnecessarily hostile.
I don’t see much use in this. It appears that this is based off of assembly, which is too simple that it’s a bit weird to code with. Besides, in order for someone to actually use it, they must know at least the basics of coding, and do you think a kid is gonna know that? Also, how would you expect for them to get support or evolve? It’s a decent resource, but I just don’t see much use it in
Also, the only community that I think would be excited for this would be people going from assembly to Lua, which is easy enough (going from a hard to easy language is easy, at least for me)
Actually, they don’t. All they need to know is that names are surrounded by quotes. Important commands like WAIT 5 and KICK SomePlayer make complete sense if read out loud, without any code context.
I think this is very cool however this resource seems more for jokes than it does to help new developers. This looks like it’d be mildly difficult to learn and would require youtube tutorials to teach.
honestly the code looks extremely simple, you sure?
indeed, most people don’t go to read documentations. they go to watch youtube videos instead.
The game.Players should be game:GetService(“Players”), as to prevent anyone from renaming Players and breaking everything.
It is. If you run RUN Players {function}, it will convert to game:GetService(“Players”):{function}().
well it would use these double quotes instead
"Players"
Alright, because in the example the converted script uses Game.Players, cheers!
no one renames services so why bother
I believe when killing someone, you should check if the player has an humanoid first, and also remove the humanoidrootpart with the take damage, this prevents some glitches from happening and makes sure the player is 100% killed
lolcode vibes
@OP I definitely think this is an interesting idea. My opinion on it is if you can turn it into similar how CoffeeScript is to JS. I think something like this has much potential if done right.
Because this is good practice to do and everyone should always be accessing a service via GetService, especially so since not all services are named what their class name is. Two examples of this would be UserInputService and RunService, where the first isn’t even named anything close to it, and the second has a space separating the two words in its name.
You’ve made Lua easier than it already is. This is amazing. I like how it looks like BASIC but still has a lua like structure.
