Open Source Games to learn code structure

[red crag]

I need to find a good well made game to learn how I should structure my code how scripts should interact with each other if there is a better way to learn code structure feel free to tell me

[cobalt scarab]

functions

[red crag]

What

[cobalt scarab]

structure your code: functions
interactions with eachother: remote events or modulescripts

[red crag]

You don’t understand what I mean mate

[cobalt scarab]

then what

[red crag]

Mate the explorer how to structure modules how to structure data interactions

[cobalt scarab]

??

what

[red crag]

Wdym what?

[cobalt scarab]

“the explorer how should structure” wdym

confused by your wording

[red crag]

Autocorrect

Fixed

[cobalt scarab]

still doesnt grammatically make sense

are you trying to structure like

code??

[red crag]

Everything

Script related

[cobalt scarab]

oh so how to structure modules and code

[red crag]

Gimme a minute I’ll continue communicating through laptop

[cobalt scarab]

code you can just do with functions obviously

modules just put them in folders and organize em

in areas that will work

finally

someone sent what i was looking for

i only wanted to learn how to structure proper games

i already know how to structure my code

thanks @proven dagger

[prime ingot]

Look for some uncopylock place

[red crag]

They all have bad structure

[cobalt scarab]

this just looks like advanced scripting to me but sure whatever works for you

[red crag]

this is normal

[glad grotto]

I understand this structure well

But type checking is the only thing left I need to learn

[red crag]

wait u faced the same problem?

[red crag]

type checking is easy actually

[proven dagger]

until you start trying to type for metatables correctly

[red crag]

i avoided metatables

do i need to use them alot?

[proven dagger]

they exist to avoid repetition

[red crag]

can u give an example use case

[proven dagger]

also helps with objects

[red crag]

example use case please

[proven dagger]

what isn't an example? strings?

why do string.find(s,...) when you can instead do s:find(...) ?

[red crag]

where can i use and why would i uee it?

[proven dagger]

this avoids needing reference to string library

you only need object

that's one big thing

[red crag]

do i need to do it with oop?

only oop

[proven dagger]

i don't really have time to write you up an exposé that could be summarized by google's gemini

the basic take-home points are it avoids repetition and it's useful for objects + oop + inheritance

[red crag]

can you please send me a roadmap to learn luau better since im ass master

[proven dagger]

sure

[red crag]

thanks

your a very nice dude

actually

[proven dagger]

may seem like a cop-out but its not, i'm being serious. just read the docs, make games, and bad code is fine. if you keep at it, eventually your code won't be bad anymore because you've just made so many things

[red crag]

really

i dont know if im writing stuff correctly

i might be doing an unoptimized way of coding

[proven dagger]

this is fine. make stuff incorrectly.

[proven dagger]

so do it unoptimized.

[red crag]

will u be able to rate my code?

please 🥺

[proven dagger]

this doesnt help

if you want to learn luau and git gud at it

Make stuff.

[red crag]

no like tell me if im doing something i shouldnt do

[proven dagger]

there really is nothing else to it

[proven dagger]

no im saying, do stuff you shouldnt do

[red crag]

why?

[proven dagger]

do it in the bad way

its fine

[proven dagger]

because after having done it the wrong way, you will learn first-hand why it's wrong

[red crag]

peak advice actually

[proven dagger]

someone telling you what the correct way is will never, ever teach you why that way is correct

[red crag]

why do i feel like i suck at coding after 2 years

[proven dagger]

that's normal

you could be coding for 20 years and you still suck

what counts is not how perfect your code is

[red crag]

do you know any project list to follow?

[proven dagger]

the only thing that counts is the games you make

so just focus on that

[red crag]

because most of the time im in studio thinking of what to make

[proven dagger]

if a game you made sucks, or your code sucks and you can specify exactly why it sucks, and so you take what you learned from that and apply it to the next game. rinse repeat.

no one ever gets it perfect and correct the first time.

doesn't matter who it is, no one is that perfect.

so accept it

[red crag]

how are u so wise

?

[proven dagger]

because i've already done everything i suggested

i'm not suggesting you do anything i haven't already done myself at great length

there's no shortcut

[red crag]

why do i sometimes feel scared to work with teams

is there any solution

please solve my life problems

[proven dagger]

ask a counsellor or psychologist...

[red crag]

thanks

[red crag]

how can i close this thread?

since everything has been solved

[glad grotto]

What problem
