I feel like I haven't had a good challenge in scripting RBX.Lua in a long time. I need topics that intrigue me and challenge me. Scripting helpers only rarely has someone asking for assistance apart from typical guns, morphs, GUIs, etc. I feel like we need to post more about advanced topics around here so that we can all have a good challenge to think about.

A lot of us simply lack creativity, that is just a fact around here :/

I don't know what I could make using advanced scripting topics. I could do something with my ray reflection function, but I don't know what would be popular.

Make something that can always be improved and never fully finished. An AI chatbot, for example. You can always make it better/smarter/more realistic.

Pick a game you like and make something 10x better

Or my suggestion is something like stickmasterluke's survive the disasters
You could make some crazy weather effects with your talent and it's easy players

Right now I'm just messing around with epicycloids and the like.

When in doubt, do some math and make cool looking stuff and see if you can apply it in different ways.

What's the highest math course you've taken?

If I were to make a game, I'd want it to be unique rather than an improvement upon an already-existing game.

And I am currently in calculus, but so far we have only gotten to derivatives.

it's funny how seemingly inapplicable single variable calculus is to roblox, as i have yet to find a use (though i'm sure i have in the past and didn't know it)

geometry is fun to work with

If you want a challenge create a computer AI for the game 'Go'

I attempted to implement vector field pathfinding once upon a time, but I didn't get very far out of difficulty and a lack of motivation. Here's a nice article on how it works:

I also have an idea for a challenge: making a function that will get the 3D position of a pixel on the screen

Actually, that would be analogous to ray casting from given screen coordinates because of the pinhole camera model.

I tried to make a string conversion to an ASCII hexdecimal lol


I forgot to add a table and break up the values, then concat the table to return all of them at once

Why not make plugins that make life easier? You only need to start trying to make a game for about ten minutes before you think of a plugin that would be useful.
