Look at ROBLOX, look at it. It's filled with rip-offs and inappropriate places... sometimes. But what if we could change that, by making a new kind of scripting. And what is it you ask, oh ill tell you. DRAG AND DROP INTERFACES.
C'mon man it's a good idea. Now im not saying to remove the original Lua Sripting, I just want to make it easier. This is great for auditory learners! It's simple! For example:
(On playerTouch: (kill player)) or (Time: (05min:00sec))
Just imagine how good this is! |

What I meant is by people who kept trying to script but having trouble. Yeah, I didn't really know what that means until yesterday. But that's not my point.
It's obvious what the block is going to mean.
"onPlayerTouch," is when a player touches a brick. Or the next block could be, "Teleport_Player to (XYZ)" |

Lua is the best match for game development on this kind of site.
This site is targeted towards teenagers.
Lua is one of the easiest programming languages to learn.

Lua is already easy to learn.
We don't need simplified Lua. |

"Lua is already easy to learn. We don't need simplified Lua." of course, we didnt need ambient occlusion or roblox universes either some people, however, really liked the ideas of those and some people like this idea too |

I never said there was anything wrong with adding additional features.
Some of them are very useful.
But scripting is already the best it can be, so we don't need to make it easier.
If you're having trouble learning it, it's either because you haven't tried or maybe you're just not ready to learn it yet. |

No support.
It makes us scripters less useful
Scripter: "Hey guys, I made a really cool game"
Noob: "lol i can make that easy" |

That's not true!
I don't want to remove the regular Lua interface!
The drag and drop interface can't do everything. Lua can! |

how would this create more high-quality games?
can you explain the point of implementing this feature? |

| I can't imagine this helping much, as large scripts would lag like hell as you drag and drop. |

If you knew how to script, then you'd understand why I don't support this.
If you can't learn to script, it's either because you're not trying hard enough or because you're not ready to learn yet.
This is like asking to simplify education in schools and colleges to make them less challenging.
That would mean that educators would be handing out degrees to whoever, and that is not a good thing.

Scratch is a great program to use as a learning tool, but not as a way to develop actual games.
Scratch was made to teach users the basics of programming. |

I once did scratch but it never learned me how to script in roblox In a long time I even forgot how to script in scratch after I left scratch. |

I had to do Scratch for a computer science project. Most awful thing I've ever used. I mean seriously, programmers aren't trying to trip you up with languages. Put in the time to learn and you can write code quickly and easily which works efficiently. Instead of ruining it for those who put in the effort, put in the effort yourself. |

Lua is way too easy to learn for the admins to waste time working on this, plus it'll break every old game.
u sicko! |
