Not sure if we talked about this before, but is it possible to port ROBLOX Studio functionality to the web? The web has gotten seriously powerful and if ROBLOX ports Studio to the web, that means cross-platform and ROBLOX could get some serious publicity and a great partnership with Google.

Yes, it'd be possible, but it would require rewriting pretty much the entire studio, which wouldn't be worth the benefits.

Not much point, since you would have to launch the actual game anyways to test the place.

You could use studio on a tablet with Android or Windows 8 RT.

You would essentially have to put the entire game engine on the web too... That would be significantly more laggy.

What about NaCl? Unless that is what you're talking about in the first place.

But, yes. If they used NaCl to do it, that would be great.
I mean, some people already ported over Quake, and an Xbox360 game to NaCl, why not ROBLOX?

That sounds unappetizing, why would anyone eat it?

NaCl isn't the web though, it's Chrome specific. Chrome ~= the web. And the web isn't the best place for a heavy application like Studio.

We could port it over to Java, but it wouldn't be worth the effort. Although, it might need to be done in the distant future.

Roblox Studio doesn't have to be a "heavy application". Places are just XML. You don't even need a 3D studio. You don't need ROBLOX official studios, either. Just study the XML, more specifically how different ROBLOX objects are represented in it. I could create a "2D ROBLOX Studio" using something as useless as the Love2D framework. Seriously. It doesn't HAVE to be all bulky and laggy.

If I was into web development, this would be an interesting project for me. Unfortunetly though, I don't know the slightest thing about it.

Studio is fast. Almost as fast as 2008 studio, but the graphics are a lot better.

I thought about writing a proof here just to get my point across, but this sentence should sum up my lack of amusement thoroughly enough.

> Places are just XML

Correction: places are serialized as XML. However XML is inert and requires a program to read it and do something with it.

Roblox could just run the studio on their servers... Not that many people editing places on browsers (if they still keep the native studio)

it would of course be a bc feature too.

That should be easy to recreate.
