Intro to Roblox Game Development

In this first lesson, students get acquainted with how to navigate through Roblox Studio, the game development environment for Roblox games. They begin to develop their very own obstacle course, also known as an obby. They do this by adding some basic shapes and spawn points into their game.

In this lesson, students learn about how to add pre-built objects into their game environment. They customize their own obstacles and take their first steps into script writing with the Lua programming language. They’ll learn basic coding concepts such as variables, loops, and function calls.

In this lesson, students will create two new types of obstacles: trampolines and conveyors. They are giving partially completed obstacles and delve deeper into programming with Lua by creating boolean values and conditional statements to complete these obstacles.

In this lesson, students learn about creating obstacles that can move back and forth between two points. This involves using more advanced loops and another concept referred to as vectors. Then, they will create blocks that spin in a circle to add another level of difficulty to their obby.

In this final lesson, students will put together everything they’ve learned to create a disappearing stairs stage and their very own obstacle from scratch. They will expand on their knowledge of loops and conditionals in Lua while learning about functions. Then, they work as a team to create a VIP area for those who complete their obstacle course.
