7 years ago I stumbled upon this game. I quickly got hooked and started my baby steps on programming.
Now I'm currently studying game development and I think it's safe to say that it was ROBLOX that made me do this. Oh boy, this game affected me more than I thought it would. |

I remember looking into scripts roblox made and reacting like "What... Is this Japanese?"
Now I'm all like, PSSHT THIS IS TOO SIMPLE |

| Haha! It's been a fun ride. I'm still currently taking baby steps in programming, but I definitely grew up with this game more than i should of have. I'm gonna assume you're in college... are you a CS major? |

I mostly got hooked cause in my first year of roblox, I just put some zombies down and a wall that goes invisible every 60 seconds with some building tools and suddenly I was on front page.

If you are, then here's some advice.
C++ is quite similar to RBLX LUA. Of course, LUA has a ton more limitations and with C++ you would have to learn about data structure ( basically organizing your code so that there isn't any leaked memory ) which is a huge pain in the ass.
Also, google is your best friend. |

It's all about that medicine boiiiiii.
You just gotta go $250k in debt, and endure the extremities of med school. Plus you gotta have perfect stats in dat college.
Too ezzy. |

I see they don't give out a ict curriculum in my school so I couldn't comment on that. In my curriculum it's either computer science or admin.
