They are something that specializes in game creation. It ables you to make more stuff and is very fun once you learn how to do it.

Scripts, in Roblox are miniature programs written in a language called Lua that can be used to manipulate objects while the game is running.

A script is a place where you tell the computer what to do at certain times and certain tasks. But be warn, sometimes scripts don't work and the computer will complain. And trust me, you won't win that fight.

They're objects with magical properties that make things happen by themselves. It's some crazy witchcraft bro.

Hmph. You must go into studio mode, (Start button on PC>All Programs>Roblox>Roblox Studio) then you go to your game, and then you go to Insert>Object> and you find the one that says "Script". You click on it.>Press OK next. Then you have your script in your workspace, which is in the explorer (View>Explorer). You find your script in explorer, which is in workspace, (The first thing in the explorer. Its at the top.) then you double click on the script scroll thing to open it. Then you start scripting. If you don't know how to, then you become a magical unicorn, look at the wiki tutorials, or user made tutorials to learn how to script. C: Hope this helped.

A script is something you use in game to make your game do things. Such as making a rocket fly or making a bomb explode.

I tried learning Lua, it's really hard. I read the wiki did what it said, and nothing happened, but I really want to become a pro at it, so I can make awesome games and stuff, but it's basically all flying through my head!

As i said earlier, if you start in C++ with a good tutorial, you might manage. It isn't easy, but scripting never is. After you learn a good amount, you will see how similar they are and maybe understand better, or realize that you can make games and stuff with C++ also, and start wanting to use that instead.

C++ is one of the largest programming languages. It derived from C programming. C++ is basically the same thing but OOP (Object Oriented Programming)

> C++ is one of the largest programming languages.

Lol, no it's not. Malbolge and hardcore binary are by far the hardest. Malbolge was so difficult to understand when it arrived that it took two years for the first Malbolge program to appear. The program was not even written by a human being: it was generated by a beam search algorithm designed by Andrew Cooke and implemented in Lisp.

This is a hello world program in Malbolge:

 (=<`:9876Z4321UT.-Q+*)M'&%$H"!~}|Bzy?=|{z]KwZY44Eq0/{mlk**
 hKs_dG5[m_BA{?-Y;;Vb'rR5431M}/.zHGwEDCBA@98\6543W10/.R,+O<

I meant in terms of popularity.

C++ is definitely more popular than straight-up binary programming and whatever that Malbolge thing is (that looks dreadful!)

@Angel

Look up Scratch. That's the easiest programming language. Look it up. It's a good place to start.

Go is a tough language too. Not as tough as Malbolge though.
