I'm writing this by request of a few users.
Beginning: My best friend from school (gunner120 on here, still active) showed me this game in early April, 2008. I thought it was interesting, but didn't think much of it. The next day, I remembered the game and texted my friend to get the name of it.
I began by inserting a free model titanic, inserting a free model ladder, and a few bombs, and blowing the blox out of it. I was such a newb!
From the very beginning, I was more interested in making games than playing other games made by users.
Scripting: When I discovered scripting, I only knew how to make it work through "script builder" games. I learned how to script via these games and slowly transitioned from that to studio scripting. Once I reached studio, I finally started learning more complex things and wanted to make games.
First Success: My first _real_ successful game that I made 100% from scratch was RO-Port Tycoon. Now long outdated and useless, I do not think much of it. But at the time, I was very prideful about my success with it, starting my ROBLOX career of creating aviation simulators.
All successful games, in order of date, of mine made from scratch:
Zombie War Tycoon (Deleted) RO-Port Tycoon Mini-Jet Wars (Got CD'd last month) Realistic Paintball (Broke) Realistic Paintball II Perilous Skies (biggest success) Stranded
...and hopefully my new game "Fight or Flight" will follow in the list.
ROBLOX is more than just a game. It is more than just a game developing tool too, which I primarily use it as. Rather, it is a place of intense and fun learning. I dislike school, and hate calling things "learning environments," but this one is, and a very fun one!
Before this game, I never knew what I wanted to be. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said "I don't know."
Because of this game, I know that I will most likely chose my major in Computer Science & Engineering and go to school at OSU.
Huge thanks to ROBLOX and all the developers/mods/admins/etc. that make it such an awesome place! |

| Hey, can you please tell me where you learned to script please? I really need to learn it. I write them down. All I wrote was a clone script that my friend told me. And I know the remove script. Thanks. |

| When I first joined ROBLOX, all I did was insert giant destructable free models, then insert a nuke and blow everything up. Ah, 2008... I miss it. |

Crazyman32, when you first created Ro-Port Tycoon, it was the first game I played on Roblox. When I played it, it still had the plane with missiles. I'd like to thank you for all your hard work to make Roblox a better and more interesting place, game wise. As for friend wise you were my 5 or 6th friend and I thank you for being a good friend. You are a great builder and scripter, and the best one I know in Roblox. If you could can you give me a website or video to learn how to script a basice object. Thanks -Robo |

I'm probably gonna major in Computer Science & Engineering too, and get a minor in Music. I really love music, but that doesn't always get you good money :\

I have to agree with Crazyman here. Before my friend showed me Roblox, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I got into scripting because my dad was a programmer at one time and liked that I liked it. I just kept working at it until I became really good at it. Although I haven't made a successful game yet, scripting here has helped me learn several other languages such as Java and C++.
So thank you M16Micah for basically setting up my future :D
