Basically, everyone here seems to have a bit head... we all suck at scripting (me included... you included...) compared to all the adults of Roblox, so I created this to blow your head (ego) down a lot. And I'm not writing this because I think I'm better than you - because I'm NOT! Anyways...

Think you know a lot about scripting? Here's some random scripting questions... if you can answer them all without using Google or any helping sources, then you're a true boss at scripting...

ANYWAYS!!!

What are 6 different types of scripting (there's more than six out there, and don't look at any questions before you've given up/answered this one... there's hints later on that you shouldn't see)?

Why does loadstring()() require the extra ()?

What/is there a difference between Java and JavaScript?

What does lookVector do?

What does TweenPosition do?

Do anti-lag scripts work?

What's false in Byte?
What is true in Btye?

How do you use moving GIFs with HTML?

What are 3 ways to index strings with Lua?

What does gsub do?

If you got all of these, I'll think up some more later...

I made the answers, but Roblox wouldn't let me post 'em... sorry. Anyways... think you know scripting? THINK AGAIN!!!

A: Not sure what you mean, so I'm taking a guess: GUIs, Body Objects, Weapons/Tools/HopperBins, CFrame, Vector3, HaxMaths (advanced math)
A2: If the above is incorrect .... : Lua, JavaScript, VBScript, Python, Ruby, ActionScript (1, 2, 3.0).


Why does loadstring()() require the extra ()?

A: It returns a function.


What/is there a difference between Java and JavaScript?

A: JavaScript is a web-based language. Java is a standalone language. Both are object-oriented, and both have similar syntax. Java has a stricter syntax.


What does lookVector do?

A: Returns the direction of the CFrame. Also the direction a Part's Front face is pointing.


What does TweenPosition do?

A: Moves a GUI object in a fluent motion, using different 'steps' to move the GUI to make it look like it's gliding along the screen.


Do anti-lag scripts work?

A: Umno.


What's false in Byte?
What is true in Btye?

A: false: 0 true: 1 (correction: Bit*)


How do you use moving GIFs with HTML?

A: [img src="GIFIMAGE.gif" /img]


What are 3 ways to index strings with Lua?

A: Not sure what you mean, but here's a guess (only two): Object[String], Object.String


What does gsub do?

A: Searches through the supplied string, looking for each occurance of a supplied pattern, replacing the found pattern with the supplied replacement, with a maximum of all or n amount of matches (if n is supplied. Returns a copy of the string with all replacements, as well as the number of matches found.

100% basically... other than the fact that you replied and gave away all the answers...
And also... by the string one I mean things like " " and [[ ]] and ' ', that basic kinda' stuff... and nice to actually see a person who knows all this stuff, instead of just saying "Y34H 1 C4N SCR1PT!1!!!1!11!!!1 IV3 B33N D01NG 1T 4 1 M0NTH N40!!! G1MM3 T1X PL0X?", but that actually knows about scripting. :)

Some of us do know how to code....
but the fact is we learn it on our own time,
Most adults do it for a living...

Ah.
For a clearer question, I suggest 'What are 3 ways to instantiate (or, create) a string?'

It's kind of hard not to know all that stuff when I've been programming (scripting and programming, as well as markup) for over 10 years.

Guys, we are talking about scripting. Not Java, which is a programming language. Not MC, which doesn't have scripting, or Skyrim, which although it is epic, doesn't belong here.

Things not about scripting in your quiz:

"What are 6 different types of scripting (there's more than six out there, and don't look at any questions before you've given up/answered this one... there's hints later on that you shouldn't see)?"
__
We're using Lua, and there are thousands of ways (or types of languages) to add a scripting language to your game.

What's false in Byte?
What is true in Btye?
__
Byte code is about to be removed, and no one programs in byte

How do you use moving GIFs with HTML?
__
We are not using HTML or inserting GIFs into our game....

Although, I liked the quiz. :) Just needs a new title.

It's a love-hate relationship....

Why does loadstring()() require the extra ()?
Because loadstring returns a function, which can be used to check for syntax errors.

What/is there a difference between Java and JavaScript?
Java is an OOP language and is multi-platformed, while JavaScript is just website programming.

What does lookVector do?
Returns either a CFrame value or a Vector3 value of which way the part is facing.

What does TweenPosition do?
It is a function that applies to any GuiObject to essentially "animate" a growth or shrink the GuiObject.

Do anti-lag scripts work?
Yes and no. Depends if you have a real one or not.

What's false in Byte?
Run this in a Java IDE...

    System.out.println( (byte)false );

What is true in Btye?
Run this in a Java IDE...

    System.out.println( (byte)true );

How do you use moving GIFs with HTML?
I don't think anybody really cares enough for me to answer....

What are 3 ways to index strings with Lua?
index == something in a table, not a string.

What does gsub do?
Replaces a certain pattern with another.



Next time, just ask for direct questions.
