Usually input/output coding would be recommended for starting out with a language.

But with RBX Lua, really only output is a plausible thing to start out with.

Try printing math equations and such and working with variables, 'if' statements, basic 'for' and 'while' loops, etc.


For example:


local a = 32
local b = a + 10
local c = b - 20
local d = a*c

print("a = " .. a)
print("b = " .. b)
print("c = " .. c)
print("d = " .. d)


Roblox really needs to allow formatted output text...

I'm serious
My friend suggested HTML, but I'm asking you guys because you probably know more than him.

Lua is a great language to begin with. As is JavaScript.

HTML is not a programming language, simply formatted text that the computer reads to draw web pages basically.

If you're planning on scripting on roblox then yes... Roblox Lua would be a good place to start.

It's basically equations which I love math, I'll start with Lua then JavaScript then I will expand to other things such as HTML and C++

If you want to actually start programming, java is quite easy and fun to work with.

No, learn Java after RBX.Lua. JavaScript ~= Java

Heard it's some type of web coding, not sure.

HTML, CSS, and YAML (these aren't the only ones, I don't think) are mark-up languages, even though "YAML ain't mark-up language".

I am going to start with Lua because I like to build so this could help then I will start to expand outside of roblox.

@xxChop, I would agree with that in form of how powerful the language is.

Personally I like Java the best, but probably because I just haven't got into C++ all too much yet.

It's good to have some basic knowledge of how coding works before you start making actual programs in other programming languages. Roblox lua will help you with this. I recommend setting a goal and using tutorials from wiki.roblox.com to help you build your scripting knowledge.

Java might be best because, it can be used on Mac and stuff unlike C++ I believe, but again I doubt Macs are going to last. So expensive, you can build a super/gaming PC with the price of a Mac.

What makes C++ so good? Because other people tell you it is? Because it's popular? Don't call people stupid when you don't know what you're talking about.
