Im trying to learn Luau, any programs that would help with the journey?

#

PS= I know the basics just don't know how to make those good codes

#

if u like game development I could consider pico 8 as they have a free version

#

a game engine that runs on lua (not luau, but rly similar)

roblox

#

also don't focus on just learning lua

#

focus on learning programming

#

when you get down to it, 90% of languages are basically the same

Learning python also wouldnt be the dumbest thing. Syntax rly similar to lua

candid nimbus
#

about as similar to lua as lua is to javascript

Langs is so overrated

#

anyway roblox is good for learning because it manages all of the low-level stuff for you but still affords you proper control for learning good practices like optimization

gentle trench
#

Also roblox studio isnt the smartest idea for just learning luau, as you have to learn animating, modelling, ui to make a game and using vs is better for only programming

candid nimbus
#

true

#

if you wanna make games roblox is great

#

learn to* that is

Compared to unity💀

candid nimbus
#

don't make the same mistake i did please just use godot or unity (rlly anything but unreal 5) for any serious projects

gentle trench
#

Unity isnt in a good state

#
  • the most complicated shit I ever seen
#

Couldnt even make a partcrying

candid nimbus
#

might be the first esoteric engine

#

we'll see though

next wedge
#

would say alvinblox but his beginner series is sort of dated now

woeful burrow
#

by far the most help has been chatgpt and gemini
