Beginner Roblox Coding 1, 2 & 3
This program requires a familiarity of fundamental coding concepts, such as Scratch. We will introduce the basics in session 1 of Roblox coding while building fun games. Students will learn how to code with Lua, and apply conditional, loops, and variable concepts. Session 2 will continue to grow with the lessons learned in session 1. We will teach the students how to build multi-player games so they can invite their friends to play games together. Session 3 students will learn to create a little economy in your games by collecting goodies off a conveyor belt, earning coins, and exchanging for droppers and treasures. Along with learning multiplayer games where players can interact with in-game characters. Class is 12 weeks.
