Cool. (Not really, it's been done before) I guess they are prejudiced against Windows phones though, huh?

That's because no other languages are available on Roblox.

Actually Roblox itself is done in C++, but of course for developing they give us Lua. Most of the hard work is done in C++ though.

No, it's probably C#. C++ is used for 2D game development.

precisely why i posted this thread! - c++ is *hard*, well its easy if you learn it, but its more complicated than lua. and simple > complex (in some situations)

Is that sarcasm?


Lua is implemented in C (Unless you get a modified version), and Direct3D is only supported in C++ currently, so I would say C++ is better for game development anyways.

We used something like this in my introductory computer science course a few years back. There are plenty of software development kits like it.

So what? There are other simple languages that aren't complete crap.

"o, it's probably C#. C++ is used for 2D game development."
oh my god you're super dumb
c# can make 2d games too, and c++ can also make 3d games (*cough* unreal engine)
a programming language does not restrict its graphics. it's environment does, however.


you underestimate the power of the dank side

C# is just C++ without having to manually manage all of the memory.

Well the thing is, a lot of us in the Scripters forum know Lua.

And for like *years* we've been using for one purpose: Roblox Development - whether it be a hobby, or to make games.

Now, with this cool kit, we can keep our knowledge and continue expanding it - without having to learn a whole new language.

It also allows us to practice Lua in different ways.

I think it's awesome - and I'm sure I'll be researching more and more into it now!

uh no darkenus, the scripters forum got really bored of lua a long time ago and started going beyond and thus learning more.

Oh rlly m8.

Then how is ~80%+ of the Scripters forum Lua related?

also, im sure you guys know a lot of other languages, but you still do know Lua - as its too simple to forget

Sure, all of us know lua, but most of us don't give a crap about it anymore but still know how to do stuff in it

Yeah, cpmoderator speaks for all of us when he says that (~15% actually, I would guess)
