i have seen many examples and recomendations of making my entire game with OOP and I am not sure how i should do this.

topics i need help with:

how do i run basic code for things, would i have a MAIN module and have it run all the other modules
what is the difference between handlers and services
if i can truly run a game without regular scripts, how do i determine things like inputs from the player
do i put everything a a class with the function .new() next to it, or do some modules not need that

things i know:

depends on how you set it up. You can also just still split stuff up.
module scripts only work after they get required, so that statement is false. But, you can get user input inside of a module script. As they can be ran on both runcontexts
not everything needs it’s own special class. Definitely the smaller scripts (e.g. a shop can just be built onto the data class. Or how ui animations can just be written as it’s own entity without really needed a class (for simpler UI stuff)

Oh wait, missed question 2

“handler” is just a term we use to clear up what a script does. “Services” tend to just refer to built in roblox classes. Yet for solo development you can name your stuff anything. Hell, go make a script called “sprintHandler” and have it take care of datastores

one more question, if i wanted to make a round timer start on the server being created, in what module would i activate that system

#

I would just handle rounds as their own entity. As they may control quite a lot of things

#

so, like make a module that handles everything round based that is required on the start command?

No, just have all that compacted into 1 system

Not near a laptop right now. And writing that on my phone is a tad too much to be frank
