thanks

[pallid hawk]

i could help you on how to do it

[tawny coral]

start with a simple clicker game if u can

[solemn anchor]

this might be the best to understand the coding syntax and other stuff

** You are now Level 1! **

I could just make it a GUI game

[solemn anchor]

I am trying to do the button clicker thingy first

Like you can hover on the button and click it
that's all for now

I need to understand to store the clicks on server and do like calculation on server but all the Anim on client side

I got some idea of making this

[solemn anchor]

I am going to Yapp here, cause that gives me a little motivation

I like the ideas given so I will go based on what I think is easy

kinda excited to do the Floor is Lava, cause I have an idea

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local playerID = player.UserId
    local success, savedClicks = pcall(function()
        return playerDataStore:GetAsync(playerID)
    end)
    
    if success then
        if savedClicks then
            playerClicks[player.UserId] = savedClicks -- Old players
        else
            playerClicks[player.UserId] = 0 -- New Players
        end
        print("Clickes oldData", player.Name, ":", playerClicks[player.UserId])
    else
        warn("Failed to load clicks for", player.Name, ":", savedClicks)
        player:Kick("Failed to load your data.\nPlease rejoin to try again!")
        -- maybe I could let players force reset their data if not working?
    end
end)

Doing this to keep tabs on the player saved data. I had taken a Lua Coruse but it wasnt for roblox specifically

also heads up about my english being wonky

For now I will just work on the UI first

I think that is the calling

[solemn anchor]

waiter += waitTime / 1000
if waiter >= 1 then
    running = true
    waiter = 0
end

In the runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()) I didnt knew how to make it wait so I did this
it works weirdly, but that is the fun part about coding

got something working today, I am very slow cause I keep getting distracted when I learn something new

but I will try and finish it or atleast some gameplay

I do have other stuff in work but I decided to slow down and make simple stuff first

[thorn kettle]

try get rid of stuff distracting you

[solemn anchor]

ok

It is looking better the more I work on it

I added a welcome message too

right now I disabled data saving cause I need to finish some stuff before I let it save data

[hybrid girder]

** You are now Level 2! **

[solemn anchor]

Need to try and finish most of the stuff today and let us hope is very close to a finish game (Very Very short game)

[tawny coral]

looks good im rlly proud of u

[hybrid girder]

** You are now Level 4! **

[solemn anchor]

I kinda need to go all out on this

ehhh or maybe a bit more

[solemn anchor]

Update on the Generic Clicker
It is almost there guys

I am excited to share it but I need a little more time

[solemn anchor]

https://www.roblox.com/games/5970234842/Another-Generic-Clicker
I am sharing this early but there is no ending yet

This is just to learn the language and what is possible
ending might just be a bit more simple depends on how fast I want to finish this

[solemn anchor]

https://www.roblox.com/games/5970234842/Another-Generic-Clicker
Ok the game is updated and it actually has an ending now
making this game has teahed me so much that I am excited to work on the next project

always finishing the work is a great thing to do before moving on

[solemn anchor]

I still like how this looks

[solemn anchor]

Game was updated one last time and I am now working on the next game

A survival Game
