please teach me how to script

For the basics I recommend following youtube guides, maybe from TheDevKing or someone. I completed his basic and advanced scripting tutorials and now I keep learning by reading scripts and using the roblox dev forum and the documentation.

[ornate igloo]

it does not work like that, no one in their right mind will teach you how to script if you have not even started, that's a huge investment of time you are asking

you don't learn to script in 2 or 3 days

it takes months to just be functional, and years to master it

[ornate igloo]

follow this advice, get yourself started with the basic, see if you actually like scripting and then you may consider asking for free tutoring 🙂

[hollow obsidian]

I literally learned it by watching tutorials and it does work.

[ornate igloo]

it's way more than that actually, to be fair you surely might know a good deal of the basics, but roblox tutorials alone won't teach you

[elfin willow]

I learned it by youtube tutorials and i'm s1!! yay!

[elfin willow]

math stuff is hard

programming - math = EASYYY

[ornate igloo]

arguably! same as programming

[ornate igloo]

oh you say that cause you still have seen the hardcore programming stuff 😈 boi

[ornate igloo]

but siiince it's soo easy, here 😄

https://www.dataorienteddesign.com/dodmain/

that's a book on scalable programming arquitectures that many of us S3's and S4's apply

supah easy, take a look at it :3

[hollow obsidian]

Surely for most of the important stuff. The rest is more of learning by doing for me. Obviously it can get much more complicated. But i honestly dont think it does get more complicated for most of the games.

[supple marlin]

watch youtube tutorials lol

[ornate igloo]

keyword: for most games that is 100% correct the problem is that your metric is bad because most roblox games are horrendously coded and their code bases an absolute nightmarish spaggetti black hole (now that's a halloween costume idea!)

The reality is you do have to do some complex code designing to achieve a mantainable codebase regardless if you work alone or with others

notice that I'm not telling you to overengineer

that is just as bad

[hollow obsidian]

Thats kinda true but not what most people need

[ornate igloo]

correct it depends in the goals

if your aim is to make a serious project you intent to launch and bring developers over

then it absolutely applies

[hollow obsidian]

I also try to keep my code clean but most of the roblox documentation is enough for that

[ornate igloo]

if it's just to make a fun weeknd thing, then ofc

just stick to the basics

[ornate igloo]

?

[hollow obsidian]

Like

[ornate igloo]

huh?

[hollow obsidian]

Using easy functions methods etc i find in the documentation

[ornate igloo]

that has nothing to do with clean code

[hollow obsidian]

I dont need more than the basics ig xD

[ornate igloo]

clean code is well structured, readable code that follows design patterns to be... Well, clean

not what you said, but it's good you do that!

[hollow obsidian]

Yes and for that you dont have to read books about it xD

[ornate igloo]

you do

I recommend this one

[hollow obsidian]

I wouldnt understand it either way

[ornate igloo]

it's pretty beginner friendly

https://refactoring.guru/ and this site

up to you if you consume em or not

[hollow obsidian]

I really started by watching youtube tutorials and that basically teached me the basics. Now i can just read other peoples code and try to understand it and obv. read the documenation and code a lot of things in the game

[ornate igloo]

if that suffices your needs then for sure! You don't have to usain bolt into these books

but if by chance your goal is to make this your career

then the most healthy is that you at least bookmark these resources

😉

anyways, I have to go back to work, take care!

[hollow obsidian]

But i still think youtube video tutorials are the best for learning the basics quickly

[ornate igloo]

it is

did not said otherwise

[hollow obsidian]

Alrighty, have a good day

[ornate igloo]

it's just

shaky

[hollow obsidian]

That kinda sounded like that xD

[ornate igloo]

but the interested people make the transition juuust fine
