I think you would be "OK" using Builderman's game if you edit it and say where you got the game.

Give credit for the original version, but generally I frown upon any copying.

I don't think you should copy games. You should come up with a good idea, practice Lua, and make a great game. If you know anybody who's a programmer, you can talk to them. My dad helped me with a lot of games that I made, and with that practice, I can do most of it by myself.

If you take a game, but I could only say is was modeled off of it, not direclty copied off it, then I would say it could slide.

But If you only change the color of some bricks...then we have a problem.

You would be better off not copying anything at all, and building your own ideas.

The question "How do you script" is said to be unanswerable, but there really is a single answer, you may not like it though.

Here it is: You write the correct code to make things work in your favor.

How do you write the code then?

You have to learn the language. Computer programming is literally a whole different language. Start off with basic tutorials.

I will tell you a bit right now, but this won't let you create anything unless you learn more on your own. (If you haven't played with ROBLOX Studio, I suggest playing around with it first, because if you don't know ROBLOX Studio well, it will be VERY hard to learn scripting).

All the parts are in the Workspace of your game, so to acces a part you would type:

game.Workspace.Part

This will go from your game to the Workspace, then down to the part. If the part is named Bob, you would have to type this to access it in a script:

game.Workspace.Bob

Dots allow you to move down in the folders in the Explorer panel of ROBLOX Studio. If you don't know what the Expolorer panel is, please learn how to use ROBLOX Studio well, as you can't build a good place without it.

There is also a book on ROBLOX programming called Basic ROBLOX Lua Programming by Brandon LaRouche. I recommend you getting that book, it's what got me started in the world of ROBLOX programming, and now I can script way more advanced things than what is in the book (like minigames and admin commands).

It's okay as long as you give credit to the orignial's creator. By the way, use proper grammar.

I prefer not copying off of games. It just destroys your sense of individuality. And builderman's games aren't exactly front page material.

Well if you can edit it to become successful, then go for it. Otherwise, like what the others suggest: GIVE CREDIT TO THE ORIGINAL CREATOR. Also, don't take advice from people who looks down at you.

I frown upon copying any other games.

For example, you copied one of jaredvaldez's unlocked games called "The Hunger Games"

You asked how to script and then five minutes later you have a game with exquisite lua and gui scripting.

The worst part is that you didn't give credit.
