It has been a while. Here are the valid responses:

responses = {} --optional, responses is auto defined in this thread c;

responses.E = "I don't even know these / I don't even use these"
responses.D = "Not much."
responses.C = "A little."
responses.B = "Sometimes."
responses.A = "A lot."
responses.S = "Almost every script I make."

You can also give some reason on why you picked that choice / why you use it / ect.

1) OOP (Object-Orientated Programming)
2) Vector3's vs. CFrames (Which one do you use more? Provide a rating for both please.)
3) User Input Service
4) HopperBins
5) Linked Lists
6) Metatables (my friend warspyking is addicted to these)
7) Pathfinding Service
8) RemoteFunctions and RemoteEvents
9) Player Point Service
10) ReplicatedFirst
11) Developer Console

I might put more in the list, but these are the list of stuff I want to learn next and I want to see if they are actually USEFUL to me.

wow i didn't know people actually use linked lists
gskw, would you mind telling me how you use them
and btw a simple linked list is like this:

head = nil

head = {next = head, value = "d"}
head = {next = head, value = "c"}
head = {next = head, value = "b"}
head = {next = head, value = "a"}
--more code

And I have been avoiding this because it seems complicated to me (maybe it is because I haven't FULLY learned next yet?)

Please note, all my answers depend on context, for example, not every script I make I use the dev console, but in game any I use ISO done with it, so my answer for that is S


1) OOP (Object-Orientated Programming) S
2) Vector3's vs. CFrames (Which one do you use more? Provide a rating for both please.) ..Context S, B
3) User Input Service ..Context
4) HopperBins E, never use this please
5) Linked Lists E
6) Metatables (my friend warspyking is addicted to these) ..The brackets answer this one for me :)
7) Pathfinding Service Again ..Context, I DO use this for path finding, so S
8) RemoteFunctions and RemoteEvents ..Context again, S
9) Player Point Service ..Context S
10) ReplicatedFirst ..Context S
11) Developer Console ..Context S


Etc. etc.
