Understand 99% of scripts in 1h or less! Learn Luau here

After seeing how people normally create tutorials for programming languages I decided to make something that follows that exact format perfectly.

This is not a guide on how to do a specific action
this is one to do whatever action you want!
Most stuff is in the google slides

If I got anything down wrong or have an suggestion please post it here!
this took around 2 days to make.

Added a part explaining how to create instances and filled in a blank about how modulescripts work and how to network

I’d rather call it “Learn luau syntax” or “Roblox Create Scripting summary”, good contribution.

Possibly but im working my way towards getting most things you’ll need to know to create roblox games so I don’t think that name would fit well

Added code comments to this on slide 10!

Just so you know, exponents are (kind of confusing to explain). Here’s is some examples:

3^2 = 3 * 3
4^5 = 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4
6^1 = 6

Basically, the numbers in bold determine how many times the number in front of it is multiplied by itself.

This is the only tutorial I have ever found useful.

Every tutorial I watch, it just always shows you a specific word, they say what it does, but they don’t explain how to use it, and only this tutorial does.

Adding on in simpler terms, exponentiation is just repeated multiplication. Unless someone really doesn’t have a basic understanding of math, it’s not confusing.

As for the modulus operator, it just returns the remainder of a division.

Ex: 10 % 2 = 0 because 2 goes into 10 evenly.
Ex: 15 % 4 = 3 because 4 cannot go into 15, but it can go into 12 (your quotient), and 15 - 12 = 3 (aka your remainder).

These can be applied to compound expressions as well.

added coroutine library working on task now!

Adding on, little amount of people know this, [=[]=] is a valid multi-line string token aswell:

print([=[
Hello
World
]=])

Also applicable to comments:

--[=[
This is a function, x, for adding 2 numbers and returning the result
]=]
function x(a: number, b: number)
    return a + b
end

The = is also extensible, just add more = signs between the double [ and ] (make sure both sides have the same amount of =)

print([=====[
Halo apa yang terjadi?
Hi what happenned?
]=====])

I knew of this things existance but im not sure if it only if that works so I just left it out as its undocumented anywhere
