In this video, I introduce the KC Method — a structured way to read and understand Roblox code like a professional developer.
Instead of reading code directly inside Roblox Studio, the KC Method focuses on separating code reading from code writing by using tools like OneNote. This allows you to:
• Read code clearly and calmly, like reading a book
• Add annotations, highlights, color coding, and notes
• Break down logic step by step without modifying the original code
• Understand how gameplay systems work before touching any line of code
The example in this video is a simple Roblox gameplay feature, but the goal is not the feature itself.
The goal is to show you how to read code every day using the KC Method.
Most professional developers spend far more time reading code than writing it.
The KC Method helps you:
• Understand unfamiliar code faster
• Debug and refactor with confidence
• Learn Roblox systems deeply instead of memorizing syntax
This is Part 1 of a series about reading Roblox code like a pro.
Beginner-friendly example — professional mindset.
:pushpin: Tools used:
• Roblox code (gameplay feature)
• OneNote for KC-style code reading & analysis
Let’s start reading code — the KC way. :rocket:

This method is particularly effective with scripts that are hundreds of lines long.
Hyperlinks can link with many different scripts, creating a system of links where a single click takes you to the current function or variable call.

And for scripts that need to be read day after day, this method is especially effective because it saves all the notes, rather than just storing them in your head, which would be gone by tomorrow.

Simultaneously with this method, you can gather all reference sources in one place, plan all structures in advance, draw all possible branches and conditions → that is, plan ahead. Then, when deploying in Roblox Studio, you just sit down and work. Coding and planning simultaneously is inefficient and increases the probability of errors.
OneNote also helped me very effectively during the debugging process, and I will make a video to guide you later.

Read Code - How to make an AI LASER TURRET in Roblox Studio Tutorial

Welcome to Video #2 of the Reading Roblox Code Like a Pro series :rocket:
Based on 6+ years of Roblox game development, I realized something important:
90% of our time is spent reading code, only 10% writing it.
That’s why this series exists.
In this video, we read and deeply understand the code behind
“How to make an AI LASER TURRET in Roblox Studio” by B Ricey.
We’ll walk through:
• How the AI laser turret detects players
• How aiming & rotation works
• Why it sleeps when you’re far away
• How the code is structured and why it’s so clean
• A professional workflow to read, trace, and understand Roblox scripts
(OneNote + ChatGPT method)
:bullseye: Campaign Goal:
Together, we’ll read 1,000,000+ lines of Roblox code.
