I'm talking about the programming in scratch and other stuff, where you drag stuff and connect it together, this would make scripting alot easier for inexperienced people, however it limits the vast amount of things you can do typing up scripts.
This is what i am talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acQ9kD_qTjQ

Sir, lua is easy to learn by going on a wikia, there's plenty of tutorials. We dont want to constantly see tycoons

Ah S&I the world filled with baiter, trolls bullies and noblets... Thats where i am from.

Lua is one of the easiest languages to learn.

and by block coding you mean object - orientated programming?

no support, we dont need this, if they want to learn they better do it by reading up on the wiki.

no support, kids won't learn the basics of coding (booleans, arrays, strings, functions, etc) and it'll become harder for then to learn programming later in life

ROBLOX shouldn't dumb down coding to a lower lever than it already is. If you can't learn Lua, then you don't deserve to have the knowledge of any programming language.

I'm a beginner-intermediate level scripter and I actually put effort into learning. Programming is not a game and it will not always be fun. If you can't understand that, then programming is not for you.

if they dont understand it then they are better off just sticking to scratch and so on because it would ruin the scripters subforum with 8 year olds

It would make it easier for people to script, but this would mean that the quality of games will slightly degrade.

if a person can't understand a simple programming language like Lua, then they probably dont deserve to be able to make games

Oh (access denied) no!

The scripting subforum is the only place where there isn't at least one neanderthal roaming about. Put that crap in and boom! Six-year olds roaming all over the place.

No. Lua is already easy enough, so this is not needed.

I personally think this is a good idea. Roblx is aimed for kids, and if kids wanted to make a game, they probably wouldn't understand lua, so block to block would help them. Support

Also, anybody that says no, then they could just have an option on studio to switch between lua and block to block. Lua would be on by default.

No. Shut up.
There is such a thing as TOO easy. In programming, you have to do it the real way.

And one more thing: We saw what happened when a new physics system was introduced. Soon enough, the old and perfectly fine one was deleted.
What makes you think they won't do that with Lua?

ROBLOX is not the type of website nor was it intended to be where you drag-and-drop blocks of pre-made code to make your life easier. Lua is one of the easiest languages you will come across, and if people who are supporting this are aware of that then this will be added for lazy people. If you want to "learn" this way, go to Scratch. This won't be added.

Lua is a very easy code, this is just a sad excuse for being lazy, if you are learning, then you learn like everybody else and actually look into it. If you want to develop, then you will have to learn Lua, simple as that.

This is actually scriptable!

Plugin anyways, who knows somebody might make a plugin (drag and drop) that uses a custom script window and at the end just converts to legit code and sets to source
