Lua is in itself not hard to learn. Using Lua efficiently, like any programming language, is something you gain through experience. If you learn one programming language you basically have learned them all. I learned Java and then taught myself Lua in just a few days. Programming is a kind of art.
Lua Learning Website What is Lua Learning? Lua Learning is a community-driven platform (in a Roblox game) created and designed to interactively teach users how to program in Lua, all for free! It is front page Top Rated as well as featured on the new Learn & Explore sort! It features an interactive lessons system similar to that of Codecademy, nearly 200 user created and reviewed tutorials ...
In this case, Roblox Studio uses LUA (often referred to as LUAU in Roblox use), which is an easy to learn programming language… While the order and flow of the document is well-written, you should also consider the order of keywords and when to define them.
Luau is a language based off of Lua, and it uses the Roblox Studio Engine. I honestly think that looking at the documentation and following Luau’s and Roblox’s “Getting Started” areas, will help you get started.
Currently, I understand how to code and read lines using the programming language Lua and always finding ways to improve as well as learn the articles of Roblox Documentation to test/apply (in situations where it is safe to say).
Do you want to learn it? Even if Roblox were to disappear tomorrow, quite a bit of the knowledge you would gain upon learning Lua would be transferable to other programming contexts. Additionally, since Lua is such a simple, small, easy language, the cost of learning it is small. There’s a lot to gain, and only a little time to lose.
Java is a compiled language, Lua is an interpreted scripting language built for embedding into other applications. Java is a statically typed language, Lus uses dynamic typing.
Luau is a new language that started from Lua 5.1 and kept evolving while keeping backwards compatibility and preserving the original design goals: simplicity, performance, embeddability. We’re incredibly grateful for the foundation that Lua has been—it’s been a joy to build on top of! So now we want to give back to the community at large.
Hello! 😄 I’ve written this guide/tutorial to help people who are new to scripting on Roblox learn some basic concepts of scripting, and hopefully understand it better. This is definitely missing a lot of important information, but I will be updating it more in the future! If you’re brand new you should read The Basics below, but if you know about variables, functions, and data types you ...
