Okay, everyone refer to Meelo as a "Scripting God", "Lua God", and such...
But why? What has he done that is so great?

And, what is "Meelo's law"?

I have no idea what "Melo's Law" is. I think non-scripters refer to him as a Scripting God.

Lol, spellfail. *Meelo's
He created seats like the vehicleseat, using a tool, but after he made it, they implemented vehicleseats. Maybe that's one reason.(Although it could be created by other scripters easily.)

"He created seats like the vehicleseat, using a tool"

Many many people have done that, nothing special on his part with that.

He was considered a "Scripting God" because of the things he did with metatables and the likes. He had a unique understanding of them. I think CodeLab has an example.

@x, Meelo's were quite something though. You have to admit that.

Haha... Meelo's law is complete gibberish, then. - _ -

The efficiency of the amount of scripters entirely
depends on how well those scripters understand
the scripting language, and how they explain their techniques.

@oysi, actually, it's more to do with communication methods. 5 programmers working together in an office etc will work, 5 scripters on an online game, communing via a PM system which can only be sent to one person at a time etc? No.

If the scripting does not require more than ... 5 scripters,
then you can simply do it yourself. - _ -

Especially on roblox!

Maybe he is a good person and all that, but his law is the
worst crap I've ever heard. :P

Imagine you're cooking a delicious cake.
Now imagine you have a partner. It gets a bit easier because he can help you find the bowl that keeps teleporting under the sink, but you have to keep talking to each other about what you're doing so you don't accidentally mix the flour twice.

Now imagine 10 people all working on the same cake. Everyone's running around and the oven's on fire and everyone has to individually ask everyone else about everything that's been done so we don't get 15 cakes.



Basically imagine a crowded kitchen. Yeaaaah, I'm hungry.

It pretty much says that no matter HOW many scripters you have working on something, if they can't communicate well, they won't accomplish #@&^.

Because, if they cant communicate, they won't know who will make what. So, instead of making one game, they all make a ton of the same game.

If everyone's working on DIFFERENT scripts but on the SAME project and they CAPITALISE words FOR no good reason, then IT'S ok.

Meelos law needs a new dimension called "Project relativity"

if you make a game with 5 non related scripts you can have more people working on the game. if theres 1 big connected script you really cant have many people...

I believe it was because of his vast understanding at a time when there was no scripters and nothing to learn from and yet he knew so much.

As for scripters forge... yes I remember it. Really it wasnt a whole long time ago though...
