I figured since someone ended up helping me learn something new when I just asked, "What should I learn next?" a few days ago, I assumed I may encounter someone to help me again. This is my longest script (it's simple, I know):

local a = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
a.Name = "Failwhale"
a.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright bluish green")
a.Postion = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
a.Anchored = true

That is all. So, I was wondering what I should do next.

I know ABOUT them, although they're sorta hard to learn, because that's a bit of a lunge more than a step considering all the things I've learned before it. I know what they do and stuff, I just can't script them correctly. I'd need someone to help me with that.

Learn functions. No, not what was posted above. LEARN functions.
What is a function? How does it work? What is a stack?

Functions make life (programming life, that is) easier.

Oh, and if you EVER have any questions, whether it be about broken code or what to learn next, just send me a PM. I'll respond in (hopefully) a decent time.

Chrome works just fine for me, and it's TONS faster than firefox / ie. Ie is just naturally garbage, though, so it doesn't belong in any list of internet browsers. :3

Yes, I'm hating on Microsoft. Get over it.

Never used Opera. I've used Safari, and I hated it. I dunno how similar the two are.

Chrome rarely crashes for me, and I don't like Opera's interface. Honestly, even if Chrome were the slowest and least secure internet browser ever, I would still use it because it's made by Google. 'Nuff said.

Google Rocks, Chrome Is Ehh-Ehh.
You can get plugins for Opera.
And safari sucks, it's like internet explorer for Mac, on PC.

"Opera has plug-ins'

So? Chrome has extensions.
