Quite a simple idea. Once I found thread suggesting roblox books, but they were suggesting books like the ones you see with club penguin or something on them. Of course, I laughed to myself at the idea, but I thought;
How about official Roblox Lua books?
With programming (I haven't learnt Lua yet)I never know where to start or the best place to learn and I know many people who can relate.
An official Roblox Lua book series, starting at the Hello World script we all know very well to what can be put together to be the most extreme(ly almost impossible) script yet.
Also, maybe a more informal writing style and a cool cover would get more kids into programming, as what kid WOULDN'T want to make an awesome video game without being extremely bored? I mean, the informal writing style would help, but the original roblox levels were all just really cool lego buildings. Kids love lego. Especially if they can make an animated talking lego dude.
Also, with more kids that enjoy programming is less really dumb kids -
when I was younger, I was actually very stupid until I found aspects of learning I enjoyed. I'm not sure how this translates to American grades, but in year 6 (5th grade?) I went from level 3a to 5a in one year (subject: literacy) because I found books I like (I have no idea my ICT/IT/Computer Science (whatever you want to call it) level and they never gave you your science level. Blame Michael Gove, our terrible education secretary). I was lucky enough to grow up with a dad who was great with programming, so I was taught the basics at a young age and used a language called scratch to make flash games.
Anyway, back on topic, basically if kids see what they can do with programming they'll probably want to learn.
Now, here's a reason more appealing to roblox...
MONNEEEEYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For example; Kid (aged 11?) sees big book with a picture of lego and buys it. Roughly $10/£6 would go to roblox.
Kid reads book and goes to the roblox site. Advertisement money would go to roblox.
Kid starts working on a place More games on roblox.
Kid plays a few games and wonders how someone does that. (S)he buys more books. More good games and more money from books.
And, finally, kid sees BC and the parent sees the price (its actually pretty cheap). Parent also sees that roblox is educational. Roblox probably gets like $5 a month/£3 a month.
Basically, lots of moneys.
If you read this long, thanks! Tell me what you think!

Y'know, I'm honestly surprised that ROBLOX didn't figure this out already (if they've taken a look at Lego lately). Support.
Do you like beans? |

@above No, I mean books. That's why I mentioned money. Maybe a few in studio would be good though |
