They did add some 3d thing either, they just rendered 3d objects with some graphics library or something probably.

I have no idea how roblox works, and I'm probably 100% wrong on how they did 3d stuff.

I do know that roblox uses embedded Lua though, and they didn't make their own language completely identical to Lua and called it rblx.lua

Yes, those are part of Roblox's API, and take advantage of features built into the language.

wait so why do we call it rblx.lua if it's just lua with specific api like anywhere you'd really use it with some software would

That's exactly why they called it what they did. That, and also because some members of the default API were removed.

@Legendery

Those are in the Roblox API, not built into the language.
